Motivational Quotes
Children
Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.

Best Quotes about Children
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
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.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
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
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
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.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
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
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
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
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
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
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
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
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.
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
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
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
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 are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
FeNelon, Francois
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
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
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
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
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves.
Canetti, Elias
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
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
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Roosevelt, Theodore
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
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
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
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
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.
Wilder, Thornton
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
