Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

2.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

3.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis

4.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

5.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

6.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

7.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

8.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

9.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

14.
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

15.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

16.
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

17.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

18.
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

19.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

20.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

21.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

25.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

26.
No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man's heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.
Taylor, Jeremy

27.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

28.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

29.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

30.
Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

31.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

32.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

33.
My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
Rich, Adrienne

34.
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

35.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

36.
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

37.
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

38.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible

39.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

40.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

41.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

42.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

43.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

44.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

45.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

46.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

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