Children

Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
- Lois McMaster Bujold
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

2.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

3.
We in the West do not refrain from childbirth because we are concerned about the population explosion or because we feel we cannot afford children, but because we do not like children.
Greer, Germaine

4.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde

5.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

6.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

7.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

8.
Americans, indeed, often seem to be so overwhelmed by their children that they'll do anything for them except stay married to the co-producer.
Whitehorn, Katharine

9.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

10.
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

11.
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Burbank, Luther

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.
Keillor, Garrison

15.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

16.
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

17.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

18.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

19.
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

20.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

21.
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

22.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

23.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

24.
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

25.
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Roosevelt, Theodore

26.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

27.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

28.
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

29.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

30.
No man can tell but he that loves his children, how many delicious accents make a man's heart dance in the pretty conversation of those dear pledges; their childishness, their stammering, their little angers, their innocence, their imperfections, their necessities, are so many little emanations of joy and comfort to him that delights in their persons and society.
Taylor, Jeremy

31.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

32.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

33.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

34.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

35.
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

36.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

37.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

38.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

39.
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles

40.
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

41.
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

42.
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back -- it is already so far.
Meynell, Alice

43.
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

44.
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

45.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

46.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

47.
That's the funny thing about havin'a kid. They come with their own set of problems; make everything else you were worried about seem kinda silly.
Greg Garcia

48.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

49.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

50.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
