Children

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



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

2.
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

3.
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.
Burbank, Luther

4.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

5.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

6.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

7.
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

8.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

9.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

10.
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

11.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

12.
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

13.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

14.
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

15.
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

16.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

17.
Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

18.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

19.
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.

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

21.
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

22.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

23.
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

24.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

25.
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

26.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

27.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

28.
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

29.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

30.
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

31.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

32.
Don't throw away your friendship with your teenager over behavior that has no great moral significance. There will be plenty of real issues that require you to stand like a rock. Save your big guns for those crucial confrontations.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

33.
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

34.
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles

35.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

36.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

37.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

38.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

39.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

40.
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

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.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

43.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

44.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

45.
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
Spolin, Viola

46.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

47.
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

48.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

49.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

50.
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
