Best Quotes about Children
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
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
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
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
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
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
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
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
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
Americans, indeed, often seem to be so overwhelmed by their children that they'll do anything for them except stay married to the co-producer.
Whitehorn, Katharine
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Anatole Broyard
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
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
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
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
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
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
It needs courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life--to God. As the old saying puts it: What I gave I have. We have to love them and lose them.
Torrie, Alfred
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
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.
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
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back -- it is already so far.
Meynell, Alice
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
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
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
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
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
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
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
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
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
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
