Motivational Quotes
Children
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.

Best Quotes about Children
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
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
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
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
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
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
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
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
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.
Tracy, Brian
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
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
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
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
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
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows.
Bombeck, Erma
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
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
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
Daniel Raeburn
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
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
Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.
Cox, Marcelene
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
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
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
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
