Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

2.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

3.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

4.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

8.
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

9.
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

10.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible

12.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

13.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

14.
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.

15.
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

16.
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go

17.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

18.
The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

19.
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

20.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

21.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

22.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

23.
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

24.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

25.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

26.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

27.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

28.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

29.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

35.
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

36.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

37.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

38.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

39.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

40.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

41.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

42.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

43.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

44.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

45.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

46.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales

47.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

48.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

49.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

50.
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
