Best Quotes about Children
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
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
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
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
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
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
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
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's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.

Gibran, Kahlil
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
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
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
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

Phyllis Diller
As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children
Adams, John
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
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
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
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
