Children

In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
- Ruskin, John
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
For truly it is to be noted, that children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

2.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

3.
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

4.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

5.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

6.
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.
Wilder, Thornton

7.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

8.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

9.
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

10.
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

11.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

15.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

16.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David

20.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp

21.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

22.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

23.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

24.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

25.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

29.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

30.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken

31.
There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.
Anatole Broyard

32.
Strange new problems are being reported in the growing generations of children whose mothers were always there, driving them around, helping them with their homework --an inability to endure pain or discipline or pursue any self-sustained goal of any sort, a devastating boredom with life.
Friedan, Betty

33.
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

34.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

35.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

36.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

37.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

38.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

39.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx

40.
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

41.
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.

42.
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

43.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

44.
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

45.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

46.
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

47.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

48.
What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.
Buck, Pearl S.

49.
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

50.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
