Children

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 Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

3.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

4.
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

5.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

6.
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Ruskin, John

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

10.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

11.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna

12.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

13.
Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.
Ruskin, John

14.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

15.
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

16.
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of the tires.
Parker, Dorothy

17.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

18.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

19.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

20.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

21.
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

22.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

23.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

24.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

25.
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

26.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

27.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

28.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

29.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

30.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible

31.
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. [Luke 17:2]
Bible

32.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

33.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales

34.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

35.
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.

36.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

37.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

38.
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

39.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

40.
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

41.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

42.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

43.
Wen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away my childish things. [I Corinthians]
Bible

44.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

45.
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.

46.
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

47.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

48.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

49.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

50.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
