Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

2.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

3.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

4.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

5.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

6.
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette

7.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

11.
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

12.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

13.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

14.
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

15.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

16.
I must take issue with the term'a mere child,'for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
Fran Lebowitz

17.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

18.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

19.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

20.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

21.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

22.
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go

23.
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
Spolin, Viola

24.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

25.
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

26.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

27.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

28.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

29.
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

30.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

31.
Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.
Cox, Marcelene

32.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

33.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

34.
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

35.
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.

36.
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

37.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

38.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

39.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

40.
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert

41.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

42.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

43.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

44.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

45.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

46.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

47.
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

48.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

49.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

50.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
