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

2.
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

3.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

4.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

5.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

6.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

7.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

8.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

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

10.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

11.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

12.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

13.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.

14.
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.
Wilder, Thornton

15.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

16.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

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

18.
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

19.
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.

20.
I must take issue with the term'a mere child,'for it has been my invariable experience that the company of a mere child is infinitely preferable to that of a mere adult.
Fran Lebowitz

21.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

22.
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

23.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

24.
It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum cleaner.
Bergor, Ben

25.
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

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

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

31.
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

32.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

33.
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

34.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

35.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

36.
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

37.
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

38.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.

39.
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

40.
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

41.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

42.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

43.
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

44.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

45.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

46.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

47.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

48.
To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
Jordan, June

49.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

50.
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
