Parents and parenting Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Parents and parenting

1.
From where can your authority and license as a parent come from, when you who are old, do worse things?
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

Where parents do too much for their children, the children will not do much for themselves.
Hubbard, Elbert

Parents send their children to college either because they went to college, or because they didn't.
Hendren, L. L.

Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson

5.
To understand your parents' love you must raise children yourself.
Proverb, Chinese

6.
We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves.
Beecher, Henry Ward

7.
No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.
Cosby, Bill

8.
The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth. To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being's mental and physical health, is a responsibility which most of us, including me, avoid most of the time because it's too hard.
Lennon, John

9.
I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: Checkout Time is 18 years.
Bombeck, Erma

10.
No test tube can breed love and affection. No frozen packet of semen ever read a story to a sleepy child.
Williams, Shirley

11.
Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion-picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word collectible as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.
Lebowitz, Fran

12.
Having children makes one no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist.
Levine, Michael

13.
There are two great injustices that can befall a child. One is to punish him for something he didn't do. The other is to let him get away with doing something he knows is wrong.
Gardner, Robert

14.
Parents are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fulfill the promise of their early years.
Powell, Anthony

It's a sad moment, really, when parents first become a bit frightened of their children.
Aidoo, Ama Ata

The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Darrow, Clarence

17.
When you teach your son, you teach your son's son.
Talmud, The

18.
Stop trying to perfect your child, but keep trying to perfect your relationship with him.
Henker, Dr.

19.
You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father s. He's more particular. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother's always a Democrat.
Frost, Robert

20.
This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.
Aristotle

21.
He that does not bring up his son to some honest calling and employment, brings him up to be a thief.
Proverb, Jewish

22.
Don't be discouraged if your children reject your advice. Years later they will offer it to their own offspring.

23.
Parents, they're strict on you when you're little, and you don't understand why. But as you get older, you understand and you appreciate it.
Hill, Grant

24.
Selective ignorance, a cornerstone of child rearing. You don't put kids under surveillance: it might frighten you. Parents should sit tall in the saddle and look upon their troops with a noble and benevolent and extremely nearsighted gaze.
Keillor, Garrison

25.
The trouble with parents is that by the time they are experienced, they are unemployed.

26.
Parents can plant magic in a child's mind through certain words spoken with some thrilling quality of voice, some uplift of the heart and spirit.
Macneil, Robert

27.
I don't know any parents that look into the eyes of a newborn baby and say, How can we screw this kid up.
Bishop, Russell

The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.
Windsor, Edward, Duke of

Don't set your wit against a child.
Swift, Jonathan

A child, like your stomach, doesn't need all you can afford to give it.
Clark, Frank A.

Parents are not quite interested injustice, they are interested in quiet.
Cosby, Bill

32.
The word no Carries a lot more meaning when spoken by a parent who also knows how to say yes.
Maynard, Joyce

Maternity is a matter of fact, paternity is a matter of opinion.
Proverb, American

34.
Parents learn a lot from their children about coping with life.
Spark, Muriel

35.
Let your children go if you want to keep them.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

Bible

45.
Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.
Plato

It's frightening to think that you mark your children merely by being yourself. It seems unfair. You can't assume the responsibility for everything you do --or don't do.
Beauvoir, Simone De
