Motivational Quotes
Children
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

Best Quotes about Children
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
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
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
Jordan, June
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
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
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
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
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
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
Jordan, June
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children
Adams, John
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
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
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
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
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
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
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
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
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
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
For success in training children the first condition is to become as a child oneself, but this means no assumed childishness, no condescending baby-talk that the child immediately sees through and deeply abhors. What it does mean is to be as entirely and simply taken up with the child as the child himself is absorbed by his life.
Key, Ellen
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
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
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
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
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
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
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
