Best Quotes about Children
The child is the father of the man.
Wordsworth, William
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.
Wilder, Thornton
You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen
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
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
Too many parents are not on spanking terms with their children.
Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's always one determined to face in an opposite direction from the way the arranger desires.
Cox, Marcelene
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
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
Children are poor men's riches.
Ray, John
The distinctive character of a child is to always live in the tangible present.
Ruskin, John
Better a snotty child than his nose wiped off.
Proverb, English
We've had bad luck with our kids -- they've all grown up.
Morley, Christopher
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
Who is not attracted by bright and pleasant children, to prattle, to creep, and to play with them?
Epictetus
For many children, joy comes as the result of mining something unique and wondrous about themselves from some inner shaft.
Cottle, Thomas J.
Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.
Saki
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
Roosevelt, Theodore
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
Cosby, Bill
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
Birds in their little nest agree; and 'Tis a shameful sight, when children of one family fall out, and chide, and fight.
Watts, Isaac
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
Never have children, only grand children.
Vidal, Gore
Be gentle with the young.
Juvenal
Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.
Franklin, Benjamin
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
Orwell, George
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
Baldwin, James
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
Children and drunks always speak the truth.
Proverb
Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
Pogrebin, Letty Cottin
Youth isn't always all it's touted to be.
Lawana Blackwell
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
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
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
A little less worry over the child and a bit more concern about the world we make for the child to live in.
Meyer, Adolph
The wildest colts make the best horses.
Plutarch
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
Hunt, Leigh
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
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. [Proverbs 22:15]
Bible
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Dorothy Parker
But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.
Wilmot, John
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
I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
Anna Quindlen
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
Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today.
Gray, Thomas
Too often when give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
Lewin, Roger
You know children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.
Plomp, John
