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.
- Torrie, Alfred

Best Quotes about Children

Cosby, Bill

Fran Lebowitz

25.
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus

26.
If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Montessori, Maria

27.
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden

28.
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

29.
A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.
Harrison, Jane

30.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

31.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

32.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

33.
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.

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

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

38.
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold

39.
It takes three to make a child.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

40.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

41.
Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

42.
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.

Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

50.
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
