Motivational Quotes
Children
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.

Best Quotes about Children
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
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
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
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
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
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
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
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
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
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
Polanski, Roman
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
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
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
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
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
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
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
In all our efforts to provide advantages we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured, and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history.
Shan, Eda J. Le
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
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
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
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
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
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
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
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
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
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
