Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.

2.
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

3.
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson

4.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov

5.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

6.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

7.
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

8.
It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum cleaner.
Bergor, Ben

9.
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger

10.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

11.
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

12.
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

13.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

14.
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

15.
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig

16.
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb

17.
Where children are, there is the golden age.
Novalis

18.
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge

19.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

20.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie

21.
I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.
Robert Orben

22.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

23.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

24.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

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

26.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

27.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

28.
A child is beset with long traditions. And his infancy is so old, so old, that the mere adding of years in the life to follow will not seem to throw it further back -- it is already so far.
Meynell, Alice

29.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch

30.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

34.
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

35.
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

36.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

37.
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

38.
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

39.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

40.
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

41.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

42.
The planting of trees in the least self-centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.
Wilder, Thornton

43.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

44.
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child, well nursed, is at a year old, a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.
Swift, Jonathan

45.
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

46.
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De

47.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

48.
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

49.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

50.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
