Motivational Quotes
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.

Best Quotes about Children
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.
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
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
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
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
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
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
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Ruskin, John
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
Spolin, Viola
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
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
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
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
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
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
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
That's the funny thing about havin'a kid. They come with their own set of problems; make everything else you were worried about seem kinda silly.
Greg Garcia
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
