Motivational Quotes

Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

2.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

6.
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

7.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

8.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

9.
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

10.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

11.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

12.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

13.
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

14.
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

15.
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

16.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.
Landers, Ann

22.
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

23.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

24.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

25.
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Anatole Broyard

26.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

27.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

28.
A little less worry over the child and a bit more concern about the world we make for the child to live in.
Meyer, Adolph

29.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

30.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

31.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

32.
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

33.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

34.
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

35.
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

36.
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

37.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

38.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

39.
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

40.
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.

41.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

42.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

43.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

44.
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

45.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

46.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.

47.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

48.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

49.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

50.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
