Children

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 Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

1.
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

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

4.
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

5.
A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children's speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie. Children have been treated. as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.
Campbell, Beatrix

6.
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

7.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

8.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

9.
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal

10.
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac

11.
The child with his sweet pranks, the fool of his senses, commanded by every sight and sound, without any power to compare and rank his sensations, abandoned to a whistle or a painted chip, to a lead dragoon, or a gingerbread dog, individualizing everything, generalizing nothing, delighted with every new thing, lies down at night overpowered by the fatigue, which this day of continual pretty madness has incurred. But Nature has answered her purpose with the curly, dimpled lunatic. She has tasked every faculty, and has secured the symmetrical growth of the bodily frame, by all these attitudes and exertions --an end of the first importance, which could not be trusted to any care less perfect than her own.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

13.
Ignorance... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
Eliot, George

14.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki

15.
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.
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

17.
Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.
Pollok, Robert

18.
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
Klee, Paul

19.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
Vaughan, Bill

20.
Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.
Robert Byrne

21.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

22.
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

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

24.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray

25.
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher

26.
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

27.
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

28.
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb

29.
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

30.
It's fun being a kid.
Angier, Bradford Arthur

31.
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go

32.
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

33.
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David

34.
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William

35.
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas

36.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

37.
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

38.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

39.
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry

40.
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

41.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

42.
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

43.
Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
Rabbinical Saying

44.
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.
Howe, Edgar Watson

45.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess

46.
Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Dyer, Wayne

47.
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English

48.
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

49.
Viewing the child solely as an immature person is a way of escaping comforting him.
Moustakas, Clark

50.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
