Motivational Quotes
Children
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Best Quotes about Children
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person.
Ehrenreich, Barbara
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Ruskin, John
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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
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
Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
Larkin, Philip
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
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
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
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben
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
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
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
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
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
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
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
Children are curious and are risk takers. They have lots of courage. They venture out into a world that is immense and dangerous. A child initially trusts life and the processes of life.
Bradshaw, John
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
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
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.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
Jordan, June
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
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
