Motivational Quotes
Children
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.
Best Quotes about Children
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
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
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
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
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John
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
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
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
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
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
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
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
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
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
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
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
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
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
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
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
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
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne
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
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
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
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma
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
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.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Rutherford, Samuel
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
