Children

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

Best Quotes about Children

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

As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love and admiration. I long for rural and domestic scene, for the warbling of birds and the prattling of my children

Adams, John

D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say when I look round at my children.

W. Somerset Maugham

Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life.

Robert Byrne

He continued to be an infant long after he ceased to be a prodigy.

Moses, Robert

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

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

Lawana Blackwell

Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children. Now I have six children and no theories.

Wilmot, John

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

Waitley, Denis

Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.

Daniel Raeburn

There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to the present, when we expect everything of them but obedience.

Anatole Broyard

It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum cleaner.

Bergor, Ben

Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.

Long, Lazarus

Children need models rather than critics.

Joubert, Joseph

Childhood is the sleep of reason.

Rousseau, Jean Jacques

Children are living jewels dropped unsustained from heaven.

Pollok, Robert

Children and drunks always speak the truth.

Proverb

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

Plomp, John

Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they're going to catch you in next.

Jones, Franklin P.

There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself, employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.

Crane, Monta

Children's liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.

Pogrebin, Letty Cottin

It takes three to make a child.

Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

Anyone who uses the phrase'easy as taking candy from a baby'has never tried taking candy from a baby.

There is not so much comfort in having children as there is sorrow in parting with them.

Proverb

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

Groucho Marx

Where children are, there is the golden age.

Novalis

It is dangerous to confuse children with angels.

Fyfe, David

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

What you don't know takes a lot of explaining to the children.

Children are completely egoistic; they feel their needs intensely and strive ruthlessly to satisfy them.

Freud, Sigmund

Kids are wonderful, but I like mine barbecued.

Hope, Bob

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

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

Phyllis Diller

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

Wiesel, Elie

Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.

Children are given to us to discourage our better emotions.

Saki

Children always turn to the light.

Hare, David

A child learns to discard his ideals, whereas a grown-up never wears out his short pants.

Kraus, Karl

You see much more of your children once they leave home.

Ball, Lucille

I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.

Robert Orben

The best way to make children good is to make them happy.

Wilde, Oscar

You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.

Dogen

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 cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.

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.
