Motivational Quotes

Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Gibran, Kahlil

2.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis

Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

6.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian

8.
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret

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

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

11.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

12.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.

13.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

14.
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

15.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

16.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

17.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

18.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

19.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

20.

Saki

24.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

25.
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

26.
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. [Luke 17:2]
Bible

27.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

28.
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of the tires.
Parker, Dorothy

29.
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

30.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.

36.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

37.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

38.
I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.

39.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.

40.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

41.
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

42.
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

43.
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

44.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

Edwards, Harry

49.
