Children

If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.

Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus

2.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

3.
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert

4.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

5.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

6.
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

7.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

8.
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

9.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

14.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph

15.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

16.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

17.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

18.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta

19.
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

20.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse

21.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

22.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

23.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

24.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

25.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

26.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

35.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

36.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

37.
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

38.
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

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

40.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

41.
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

42.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

43.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

44.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

45.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

46.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

47.
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

48.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

49.
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

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
