Children

A little less worry over the child and a bit more concern about the world we make for the child to live in.
- Meyer, Adolph
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
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

2.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

3.
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

4.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

5.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

6.
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

7.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

8.
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

9.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

10.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales

14.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

15.
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

16.
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go

17.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

18.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

19.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

20.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

21.
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.

22.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

23.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

24.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

25.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

26.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis

27.
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

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.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

30.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

31.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

32.
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette

33.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

34.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

35.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

36.
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

37.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

38.
The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
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

40.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

41.
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.
Swift, Jonathan

42.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

43.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

44.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

45.
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

46.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

47.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

48.
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

49.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

50.
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
