Best Quotes about Children
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.
What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.
Landers, Ann
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
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
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
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
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.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
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
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
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
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
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
For success in training children the first condition is to become as a child oneself, but this means no assumed childishness, no condescending baby-talk that the child immediately sees through and deeply abhors. What it does mean is to be as entirely and simply taken up with the child as the child himself is absorbed by his life.
Key, Ellen
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
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
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
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
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge
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
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
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
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
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
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
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
