Children

The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.
- Auden, W. H.
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

2.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

3.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

4.
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna

5.
Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

6.
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

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.
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.

9.
For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

10.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

11.
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

12.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

13.
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

14.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

15.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

21.
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

22.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

23.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

24.
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

25.
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

26.
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

27.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

28.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

29.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

30.
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

31.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

32.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

33.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

34.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

35.
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian

36.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

37.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

38.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

39.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

43.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

44.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

45.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

46.
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

47.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

48.
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

49.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

50.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
