Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

2.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

6.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

7.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

8.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

9.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

10.
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

11.
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Bachelard, Gaston

12.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

13.
Children see in their parents the past, their parents see in them the future; and if we find more love in the parents for their children than in children for their parents, this is sad but natural. Who does not entertain his hopes more than his recollections.
Ruskin, John

14.
Children seldom have a proper sense of their own tragedy, discounting and keeping hidden the true horrors of their short lives, humbly imagining real calamity to be some prestigious drama of the grown-up world.
Hazzard, Shirley

15.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

16.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

17.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

18.
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

19.
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
Klee, Paul

20.
It needs courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life--to God. As the old saying puts it: What I gave I have. We have to love them and lose them.
Torrie, Alfred

21.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

22.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

23.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

24.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

25.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

26.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

27.
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

28.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

29.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

30.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

31.
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

32.
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John

33.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

34.
What is done to children, they will do to society.
Menninger, Karl A.

35.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

36.
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

37.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

38.
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

39.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

40.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

Stoddard, Richard Henry

43.
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

44.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

45.
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia

46.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

47.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

48.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

49.
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

50.
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
