Children

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
Children Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Children

The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson

2.
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.

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.

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

If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.
Updike, John

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

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

10.
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

A child miseducated is a child lost.
Kennedy, John F.

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

Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller

14.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
Groucho Marx

15.
There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.
Churchill, Winston

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

17.
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John

Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children's eyes.
Lawana Blackwell

19.
Behold the child, by nature's kindly law, pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.
Pope, Alexander

20.
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.

Crane, Monta

22.
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

23.
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.
Shakespeare, William

24.
Kids use to ask where they came from, now they tell you where to go

25.
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis

26.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz

27.
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

28.
If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either.
Dick Cavett

29.
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

30.
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

31.
With children... it is a fact that most parents criticize children more than they laud or congratulate them. We tend to be quick to criticize, slow to praise. We should be careful to keep the praise and the expectations far ahead of the criticism.

32.
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

33.
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

34.
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben

35.
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

36.
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

37.
A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life.
Robertson Davies

38.
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

39.
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Fielding, Henry

40.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Wiesel, Elie

41.
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin

42.
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

43.
It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.
Decter, Midge

44.
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

45.
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

46.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker

47.
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

48.
How little is the promise of the child fulfilled in the man.
Ovid

49.
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo

50.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
