Motivational Quotes
Children
Winning children (who appear so guileless) are children who have discovered how effective charm and modesty and a delicately calculated spontaneity are in winning what they want.

Best Quotes about Children
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
Rich, Adrienne
He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.
Moses, Robert
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
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
Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision.
Waitley, Denis
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.
La Bruyere, Jean De
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
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when we try to set their goals for them.
Lair, Dr. Jess
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Fran Lebowitz
A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.
Kraus, Karl
Americans, indeed, often seem to be so overwhelmed by their children that they'll do anything for them except stay married to the co-producer.
Whitehorn, Katharine
Never raise your hand to your children; it leaves your midsection unprotected.
Robert Orben
There are few successful adults who were not first successful children.
Chase, Alexander
Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.
Mead, Margaret
Children suck the mother when they are young and the father when they are old.
Proverb, English
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
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 are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.
Jones, Franklin P.
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
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.
Abbott, Lyman
There is no sinner like a young saint.
Behn, Aphra
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
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
Wilde, Oscar
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
Wilde, Oscar
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.
Tauscher, Stacia
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Angelou, Maya
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
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.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Bruce Barton
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Curie, Madame Marie
The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation.
Wilbur, Ray L.
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
Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist once they grow up.
Picasso, Pablo
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
In great countries, children are always trying to remain children, and the parents want to make them into adults. In vile countries, the children are always wanting to be adults and the parents want to keep them children.
Ruskin, John
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
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
The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Sam Levenson
Children are the keys of paradise.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Ball, Lucille
A child is fed with milk and praise.
Lamb, Mary
Our children change us... whether they live or not.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
