Children

Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
- Oscar Wilde
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

2.
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

3.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

4.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra

5.
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

6.
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
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

11.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

12.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

13.
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell

14.
As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children
Adams, John

15.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

16.
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

17.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

18.
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of the tires.
Parker, Dorothy

19.
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore

20.
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

21.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

22.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

23.
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob

24.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

25.
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham

26.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

27.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

28.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

29.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

30.
Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.
Jordan, June

31.
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

32.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

33.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

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

35.
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.
Angelou, Maya

36.
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl

37.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

38.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

39.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

40.
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

41.
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille

42.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

43.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

44.
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

45.
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

46.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

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
