Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
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.

3.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

4.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

5.
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go

6.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

7.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

8.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

9.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

10.
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

11.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

12.
Wen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away my childish things. [I Corinthians]
Bible

13.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

14.
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

15.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

16.
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Roosevelt, Theodore

17.
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

18.
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert

19.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

20.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

21.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales

25.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

26.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

27.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

28.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

29.
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.
Angelou, Maya

30.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

Wilde, Oscar

34.
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

35.
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.

36.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Greer, Germaine

39.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

40.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

41.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

42.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

43.
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

44.
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

45.

Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

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

50.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
