Motivational Quotes
Children
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.

Best Quotes about Children
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
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
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
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
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.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man's heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.
Taylor, Jeremy
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
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
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
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
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
My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
Rich, Adrienne
Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.
Ruskin, John
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
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
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark
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
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
Orwell, George
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
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
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
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
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.
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
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
