Motivational Quotes
Children
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
Best Quotes about Children
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves.
Canetti, Elias
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
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
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
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
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
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
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian
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
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.
Keillor, Garrison
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
Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
Jordan, June
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
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman
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
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
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
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
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
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
