My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

John J. Plomp

Plomp, John
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

Lois McMaster Bujold
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
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
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
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
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
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
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
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
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
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
We do our children no favour by keeping them near, coddling them, or showing them off to adult visitors. Not that a nursemaid does not sometimes spoil them. But the greatest favour we can do our children is to give visible example of love and esteem to our spouse. As they grow up, they may then look forward to maturity so they too can find such love.
Eucharista Ward
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
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
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
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
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.
Anna Quindlen
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
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
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
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
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
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
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
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.

A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
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
