Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

2.
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

3.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

4.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

5.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

6.
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

7.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

8.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

9.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

10.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

11.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

12.
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

13.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

14.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

15.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

16.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

17.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.

18.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

19.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

20.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

21.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

22.
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

23.
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al

24.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

25.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

26.
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

27.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

28.
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

29.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

30.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

31.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

32.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

33.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

34.
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

35.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

36.
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

37.
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

38.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

39.
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

40.
I must take issue with the term'a mere child,'for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
Fran Lebowitz

41.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

42.
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

43.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

47.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

48.
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

49.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

50.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
