Motivational Quotes
Children
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.
Best Quotes about Children
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
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
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 curious and are risk takers. They have lots of courage. They venture out into a world that is immense and dangerous. A child initially trusts life and the processes of life.
Bradshaw, John
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
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
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
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
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
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
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
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
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
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
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
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
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
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
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
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
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
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
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
