Motivational Quotes
Children
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.

Best Quotes about Children
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
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
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
It needs courage to let our children go, but we are trustees and stewards and have to hand them back to life--to God. As the old saying puts it: What I gave I have. We have to love them and lose them.
Torrie, Alfred
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
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
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
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
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
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
Children always turn to the light.
Hare, David
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
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
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
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
Children are all foreigners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
Young people should be helped, sheltered, ignored, and clubbed of necessary.
Capp, Al
Little girl's definition of conscience: Something that makes you tell your mother before your brother or sister does.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur
Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Long, Lazarus
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
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 completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. [Luke 17:2]
Bible
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
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
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
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
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
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
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
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
