Motivational Quotes
Children
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.

Best Quotes about Children
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
Peter Ustinov
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
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
John J. Plomp
D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham
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
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
When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.
Ziglar, Zig
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation.
John Gray
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.
Hope, Bob
Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.
Freud, Sigmund
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.
Proverb
Children aren't happy with nothing to ignore, and that's what parents were created for.
Nash, Ogden
Level with your child by being honest. Nobody spots a phony quicker than a child.
Mary MacCracken
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man; youth never.
Jameson, Anna
What's more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can't hear what they say?
Smith, Logan Pearsall
A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person.
Ehrenreich, Barbara
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
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
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
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Jones, Franklin P.
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
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
We do our children no favour by keeping them near, coddling them, or showing them off to adult visitors. Not that a nursemaid does not sometimes spoil them. But the greatest favour we can do our children is to give visible example of love and esteem to our spouse. As they grow up, they may then look forward to maturity so they too can find such love.
Eucharista Ward
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
Childhood is the sleep of reason.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston
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
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
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
There's no point in being grown up if you cant be childish sometimes.
Who, Dr.
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
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
Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.
Keillor, Garrison
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
Wen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away my childish things. [I Corinthians]
Bible
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home a pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of the tires.
Parker, Dorothy
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to get him asleep.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie
To rescue our children we will have to let them save us from the power we embody: we will have to trust the very difference that they forever personify. And we will have to allow them the choice, without fear of death: that they may come and do likewise or that they may come and that we will follow them, that a little child will lead us back to the child we will always be, vulnerable and wanting and hurting for love and for beauty.
Jordan, June
