Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

2.
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.

3.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

4.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

5.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

6.
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
FeNelon, Francois

7.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

12.
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

13.
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

14.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

15.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

16.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

17.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

18.
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

19.
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
Klee, Paul

20.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

21.
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

22.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

23.
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

24.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible

25.
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

26.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

27.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

28.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

29.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

30.
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

31.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

32.
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

33.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

34.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

35.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

36.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

37.
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge

38.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

39.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

40.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

41.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

42.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

47.
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

48.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

49.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

50.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
