Motivational Quotes
Children
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Best Quotes about Children
No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man's heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.
Taylor, Jeremy
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
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
Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework --an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self-sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.
Friedan, Betty
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
My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
Rich, Adrienne
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
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
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
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
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.
Auden, W. H.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.
Updike, John
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
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John
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
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
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
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
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
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
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
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
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
