Motivational Quotes
Children
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Best Quotes about Children
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
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
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
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Cosby, Bill
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
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
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
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
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
Klee, Paul
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
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
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
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
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
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
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.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
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
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
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
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
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
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
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
