Children

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

What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

Larkin, Philip

Ehrenreich, Barbara

13.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

14.
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
FeNelon, Francois

15.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill

16.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

17.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

18.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

Taylor, Jeremy

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

27.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

28.
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

29.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to.

Landers, Ann
