Best Quotes about Children
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus
What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.
Landers, Ann
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
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
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
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin
In all our efforts to provide advantages we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured, and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history.
Shan, Eda J. Le
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
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
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna
We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.
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
Children are curious and are risk takers. They have lots of courage. They venture out into a world that is immense and dangerous. A child initially trusts life and the processes of life.
Bradshaw, John
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
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
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
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
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
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
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. [Luke 17:2]
Bible
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch
It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum cleaner.
Bergor, Ben
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
