Best Quotes about Children
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna
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
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
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
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
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.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
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
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
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
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
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.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas
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
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
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
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
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
Klee, Paul
Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
Jordan, June
Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework --an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self-sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.
Friedan, Betty
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.
Wilder, Thornton
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
