Best Quotes about Children
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
Rich, Adrienne
Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.
Cox, Marcelene
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
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
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
Orwell, George
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
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.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
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
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark
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
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
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children
Adams, John
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Cosby, Bill
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
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
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
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
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
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
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
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
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
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
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
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
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
Wilde, Oscar
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
