Best Quotes about Children
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
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
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
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
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.
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
We do our children no favour by keeping them near, coddling them, or showing them off to adult visitors. Not that a nursemaid does not sometimes spoil them. But the greatest favour we can do our children is to give visible example of love and esteem to our spouse. As they grow up, they may then look forward to maturity so they too can find such love.
Eucharista Ward
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
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
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
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
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
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
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
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
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 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
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
FeNelon, Francois
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
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
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
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.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
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
In all our efforts to provide advantages we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured, and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history.
Shan, Eda J. Le
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
You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Gibran, Kahlil
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
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
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
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
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
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
