Motivational Quotes
Children
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.

Best Quotes about Children
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
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
Lamb, Charles
Ah! what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch
There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself. His world: dominated by adults who tell him what to do and when to do it --benevolent tyrants who dispense gifts to their good subjects and punishment to their bad ones, who are amused at the cleverness of children and annoyed by their stupidities.
Spolin, Viola
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
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
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
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
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
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
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child. He needs guidance. If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
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
A rich child often sits in a poor mothers lap.
Proverb
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
If we had paid no more attention to our plants than we have to our children, we would now be living in a jungle of weed.
Burbank, Luther
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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
Children need models rather than critics.
Joubert, Joseph
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
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.
Ruskin, John
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
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
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
Each child is an adventure into a better life --an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jackson, Jesse
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.
Angelou, Maya
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child!
William Shakespeare
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
Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
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.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander
