Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.

Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

2.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

3.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

4.
It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum cleaner.
Bergor, Ben

5.
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

6.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

7.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

8.
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.

9.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

10.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

11.
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

12.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

13.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

14.
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

15.
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

16.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

17.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

18.
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.

19.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

20.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

21.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

22.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

23.
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.
Swift, Jonathan

24.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Rutherford, Samuel

28.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

29.
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

30.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna

31.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

32.
Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
Larkin, Philip

33.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

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

35.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

36.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

37.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

38.
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

39.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

40.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

41.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

42.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

43.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

44.
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

45.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

46.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis

47.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
