Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James

2.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

3.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

4.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.

5.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

6.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton

7.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

8.
For success in training children the first condition is to become as a child oneself, but this means no assumed childishness, no condescending baby-talk that the child immediately sees through and deeply abhors. What it does mean is to be as entirely and simply taken up with the child as the child himself is absorbed by his life.
Key, Ellen

9.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn

10.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

11.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

12.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

16.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

17.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

18.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

19.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

20.
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

21.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

22.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

23.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

24.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

25.
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

26.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

27.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

28.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

29.
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

30.
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

31.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

32.
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

33.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

34.
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

35.
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

36.
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John

37.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

38.
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

39.
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

40.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

41.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

42.
I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
Anna Quindlen

43.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

44.
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

45.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

46.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

47.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

48.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

49.
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

50.
She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
