It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
- Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

2.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

3.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

4.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
Wilde, Oscar

8.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

9.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

10.
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

11.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

12.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

13.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

14.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

15.
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.

16.
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

17.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

18.
You don't pay back your parents. You can't. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment. Or if you don't have children of the body, it's left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
Lois McMaster Bujold

19.
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

20.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

21.
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

22.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

23.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

24.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

25.
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.

26.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

27.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

28.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

29.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

30.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.

31.
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

32.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

33.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

34.
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

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.
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

37.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

38.
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

39.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

43.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

44.
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

45.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

46.
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

47.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

48.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

49.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

50.
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
