Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya

2.
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

3.
Don't throw away your friendship with your teenager over behavior that has no great moral significance. There will be plenty of real issues that require you to stand like a rock. Save your big guns for those crucial confrontations.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

4.
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund

5.
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

6.
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John

7.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

8.
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander

9.
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

10.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

11.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

12.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

13.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare

14.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

15.
Never have children, only grandchildren.
Gore Vidal

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
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

21.
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

22.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

23.
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.

24.
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall

25.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

26.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

27.
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

28.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

29.
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar

30.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII

31.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh

35.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

36.
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.

37.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

38.
What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

39.
A little less worry over the child and a bit more concern about the world we make for the child to live in.
Meyer, Adolph

40.
Children need love, especially when they don't deserve it.
Hulbert, Harold

41.
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman

42.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

43.
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

44.
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

45.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

46.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird

47.
There is a sanctity involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.
Baldwin, James

48.
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry

49.
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

50.
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
