Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children are excellent observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.
FeNelon, Francois

2.
Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation.
Lois McMaster Bujold

3.
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English

4.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

5.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

6.
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

7.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

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.
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

10.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

11.
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

12.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

13.
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary

14.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

15.
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

16.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

17.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

18.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

19.
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

20.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

21.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales

22.
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

23.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.
Norman Douglas

24.
A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie. Children have been treated. as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.
Campbell, Beatrix

25.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich

26.
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb

27.
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

28.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

29.
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

30.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

31.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

32.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
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

34.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen

35.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

36.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

37.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

38.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

39.
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

40.
A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

41.
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

42.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

43.
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

44.
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

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

46.
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

47.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

48.
Wen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away my childish things. [I Corinthians]
Bible

49.
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

50.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
