Parents and parenting Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Parents and parenting

1.
He that does not bring up his son to some honest calling and employment, brings him up to be a thief.
Proverb, Jewish

2.
Parents send their children to college either because they went to college, or because they didn't.
Hendren, L. L.

3.
To nourish and raise children against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.
French, Marilyn

4.
If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Davis, Bette

5.
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

6.
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

7.
It's a sad moment, really, when parents first become a bit frightened of their children.
Aidoo, Ama Ata

8.
How selfhood begins with a walking away, and love is proved in the letting go.
Day-Lewis, Robert Cecil

9.
The question that is so clearly in many potential parents minds: Why should we stunt our ambitions and impoverish our lives in order to be insulted and looked down upon in our old age?
Schumpeter, Joseph A.

10.
From where can your authority and license as a parent come from, when you who are old, do worse things?
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

11.
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

12.
Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you.
Brown Jr., H. Jackson

13.
Stop trying to perfect your child, but keep trying to perfect your relationship with him.
Henker, Dr.

14.
The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.
Waitley, Denis

15.
Maternity is a matter of fact, paternity is a matter of opinion.
Proverb, American

16.
Every generation revolts against its fathers and makes friends with its grandfathers.
Mumford, Lewis

17.
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

18.
Parents are traffic signs that are always in our blind spots.
Johnson, Jeremy P.

19.
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

20.
Parents giving the keys to the car act as if they are giving the keys to the kingdom.
Rothschild, William E.

21.
The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.
Windsor, Edward, Duke of

22.
The word no Carries a lot more meaning when spoken by a parent who also knows how to say yes.
Maynard, Joyce

23.
The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.
Morrison, Jim

24.
Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next generation.
Koop, C. Everett

25.
A wise parent humors the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease.
Gaskell, Elizabeth

26.
We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves.
Beecher, Henry Ward

27.
Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.
Plato

28.
Fathers and mothers have lost the idea that the highest aspiration they might have for their children is for them to be wise... specialized competence and success are all that they can imagine.
Bloom, Allan

29.
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

30.
The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Darrow, Clarence

31.
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

32.
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

33.
I wish all the mothers, fathers and children out there realize how much I need them and how much I value their support.
Diana, Princess of Wales

34.
Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.
Toffler, Alvin

35.
The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.
Bacon, Francis

36.
Oh, high is the price of parenthood, and daughters may cost you double. You dare not forget, as you thought you could, that youth is a plague and a trouble.
Mcginley, Phyllis

37.
A child, like your stomach, doesn't need all you can afford to give it.
Clark, Frank A.

38.
Parents are the bones on which children sharpen their teeth.
Ustinov, Peter

39.
He that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. [Exodus 21:17]
Bible

40.
If you want a baby, have a new one. Don't baby the old one.
West, Jessamyn

41.
Parenthood is not an object of appetite or even desire. It is an object of will. There is no appetite for parenthood; there is only a purpose or intention of parenthood.
Collingwood, Robin G.

42.
You must not expect old heads upon young shoulders.
Proverb, English

43.
Children need guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.
Sullivan, Anne

44.
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

45.
Do they know they're old, these two who are my father and my mother whose fire from which I came, has now grown cold?
Jennings, Elizabeth

46.
The sooner you treat your son as a man, the sooner he will be one.
Dryden, John

47.
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

48.
Don't set your wit against a child.
Swift, Jonathan

49.
Having children makes one no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist.
Levine, Michael

50.
I am the slave of my baptism. Parents, you have caused my misfortune, and you have caused your own.
Rimbaud, Arthur
