Motivational Quotes
Children
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.

Best Quotes about Children
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
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
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
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
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
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
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
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal
The countenances of children, like those of animals, are masks, not faces, for they have not yet developed a significant profile of their own.
Auden, W. H.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Crane, Monta
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back -- it is already so far.
Meynell, Alice
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
The planting of trees in the least self-centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.
Wilder, Thornton
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
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
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
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
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
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
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
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
I am amused when goody-goodies proclaim, from the safety of their armchairs, that children are naturally prejudice-free, that they only learn to "hate" from listening to bigoted adults. Nonsense. Tolerance is a learned trait, like riding a bike or playing the piano. Those of us who actually live among children, who see them in their natural environment, know the truth: Left to their own devices, children will gang up on and abuse anyone who is even slightly different from the norm.
Josh Lieb
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
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
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
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
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
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
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
