Motivational Quotes
Children
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.

Best Quotes about Children
People who get nostalgic about childhood were obviously never children.
Bill Watterson
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
That's the funny thing about havin'a kid. They come with their own set of problems; make everything else you were worried about seem kinda silly.
Greg Garcia
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
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
One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
Orwell, George
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
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
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
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Edwards, Harry
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
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
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
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
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
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
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
The best way for a man to train up a child in the way he should go is to travel that way himself.
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.
Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Johnson, Lady Bird
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
Adults are obsolete children.
Seuss, Dr.
The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children.
King Edward VIII
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
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
Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Diana, Princess of Wales
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
It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.
Fyfe, David
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
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
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
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
Gibran, Kahlil
Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.
Cox, Marcelene
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
