Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

2.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.

3.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

4.
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

5.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

6.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

7.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

8.
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

9.
That's the funny thing about havin'a kid. They come with their own set of problems; make everything else you were worried about seem kinda silly.
Greg Garcia

10.
Children seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world.
Hazzard, Shirley

11.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

12.
You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
Lois McMaster Bujold

13.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

14.
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

15.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

16.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

17.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

18.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

19.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

20.
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

21.
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

22.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

23.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

24.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

28.
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham

29.
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

30.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

31.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

32.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

33.
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

34.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

35.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna

36.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

37.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

38.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

39.
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.

40.
One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
Orwell, George

41.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

42.
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.

43.
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

44.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales

45.
We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Greer, Germaine

46.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

47.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

48.
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

49.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

50.
We do our children no favour by keeping them near, coddling them, or showing them off to adult visitors. Not that a nursemaid does not sometimes spoil them. But the greatest favour we can do our children is to give visible example of love and esteem to our spouse. As they grow up, they may then look forward to maturity so they too can find such love.
Eucharista Ward
