Best Quotes about Children

1.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

2.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

3.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

4.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

5.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

6.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

7.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

8.
The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.
Auden, W. H.

9.
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.
Angelou, Maya

10.
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Anatole Broyard

11.
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge

12.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

13.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

14.
To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
Jordan, June

15.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

16.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

17.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

18.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

19.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

20.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

21.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

22.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

23.
Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
Wilde, Oscar

24.
Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

25.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

26.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

27.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

28.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

29.
For success in training children the first condition is to become as a child oneself, but this means no assumed childishness, no condescending baby-talk that the child immediately sees through and deeply abhors. What it does mean is to be as entirely and simply taken up with the child as the child himself is absorbed by his life.
Key, Ellen

30.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

31.
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman

32.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

33.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

34.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

35.
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.
Swift, Jonathan

36.
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Burbank, Luther

37.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

38.
Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
Larkin, Philip

39.
I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
Anna Quindlen

40.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

41.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

42.
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Rutherford, Samuel

43.
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

44.
Wen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away my childish things. [I Corinthians]
Bible

45.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

46.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

47.
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert

48.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

49.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

50.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
