Best Quotes about Children

1.
Americans, indeed, often seem to be so overwhelmed by their children that they'll do anything for them except stay married to the co-producer.
Whitehorn, Katharine

2.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

3.
A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie. Children have been treated. as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.
Campbell, Beatrix

4.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

5.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales

6.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

7.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

8.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

9.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

10.
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles

11.
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Bachelard, Gaston

12.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

13.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Gibran, Kahlil

14.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

15.
If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.
Updike, John

16.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

17.
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Cosby, Bill

18.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

19.
The planting of trees in the least self-centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.
Wilder, Thornton

20.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

21.
Don't throw away your friendship with your teenager over behavior that has no great moral significance. There will be plenty of real issues that require you to stand like a rock. Save your big guns for those crucial confrontations.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

22.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

23.
A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

24.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

25.
Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
Jordan, June

26.
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Ruskin, John

27.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

28.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

29.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

30.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill

31.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

32.
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go

33.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

34.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

35.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

36.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

37.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible

38.
I must take issue with the term'a mere child,'for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
Fran Lebowitz

39.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

40.

Sam Levenson

41.

A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

44.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

45.
For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

46.
I am amused when goody-goodies proclaim, from the safety of their armchairs, that children are naturally prejudice-free, that they only learn to "hate" from listening to bigoted adults. Nonsense. Tolerance is a learned trait, like riding a bike or playing the piano. Those of us who actually live among children, who see them in their natural environment, know the truth: Left to their own devices, children will gang up on and abuse anyone who is even slightly different from the norm.
Josh Lieb

47.
Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.
Ruskin, John

48.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

49.
Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework --an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self-sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.
Friedan, Betty

50.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
