Children

I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
- Anna Quindlen
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

2.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

6.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

7.
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

8.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

9.
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Bachelard, Gaston

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

13.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

14.
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

15.
The planting of trees in the least self-centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.
Wilder, Thornton

16.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

17.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

18.
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

19.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

20.
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

21.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

22.
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

23.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

24.
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

25.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

26.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

27.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

28.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

29.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

30.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

31.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

32.
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

33.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

34.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

35.
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

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

38.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

39.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

40.
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

41.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

42.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

43.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

44.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

45.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

46.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

47.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

48.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

49.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

50.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
