What is a home without children? Quiet.
Henny Youngman
There is no finer investment for any community than putting
milk into babies.
Winston Churchill
Ah! what would the world be to us
If the children were no more?
We should dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before

Childhood: The period of human life intermediate between the
idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth -- two removes from

A three-year-old child is a being who gets almost as much fun
out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding

teach us what life is all about.

Lewis Carroll
Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another
they are not cute. They are life-sized.
Margaret Atwood
Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children;
now I have six children and no theories.
John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester
A characteristic of the normal child is he doesn't act that
way very often.
Author Unknown
It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill
you quicker if they didn't.
Barbara Kingsolver
Children are contemptuous, haughty, irritable, envious, sneaky,
selfish, lazy, flighty, timid, liars and hypocrites, quick to
laugh and cry, extreme in expressing joy and sorrow, especially
about trifles, they'll do anything to avoid pain but they enjoy
inflicting it: little men already.
Jean de La Bruyère
Les Caractères.
Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it.
Pamela Glenconner
It is amazing how quickly the kids learn to drive a car, yet
are unable to understand the lawnmower, snow-blower, or vacuum
cleaner.
Ben Bergor
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet.
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water
or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged
in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white
clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child --
our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
Thich Nhat Hanh
It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and
politely, put parents in their place.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
My Mother's House.
There are three ways to get something done: do it yourself,
employ someone, or forbid your children to do it.
Mona Crane
Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who
will choose your rest home.
Phyllis Diller
The real menace in dealing with a five-year-old is that in no
time at all you begin to sound like a five-year-old.
Joan Kerr
Please Don't Eat the Daisies.
You should study not only that you become a mother when your
child is born, but also that you become a child.
Dogen Zenji
Japanese Zen Buddhist teacher.
For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is
not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always
changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations
do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because
we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light
fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us.
The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and
the light goes out.
James Baldwin
We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.
Harry Edwards
There never was a child so lovely, but his mother was glad to
get him asleep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.
Henry Fielding
If children grew up according to early indications, we should
have nothing but geniuses.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have
them and love them as God has given them to us.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not
our children's children, because I don't think children should
be having sex.
Jack Handey
Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world
is done by children.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Children are our most valuable natural resource.
Herbert Hoover
Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for
each other.
Edgar W. Howe
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency
they're going to catch you in next.
Franklin P. Jones
Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past
nor a future.
Jean De La Bruyere
French Writer.
We inevitably doom our children to failure and frustration when
we try to set their goals for them.
Dr. Jess Lair
American Professor, Counselor.
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have
sown will never be uprooted.
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of life.
Maureen Hawkins
The best way to keep children at home is to make the home a
pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of the tires.

Every child is an artist. The problem is to remain an artist
once they grow up.

There are seven million.
Walt Streightiff
You see much more of your children once they leave home.
Lucille Ball
Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths,
but the final forming of a person's character lies in their
own hands.
Anne Frank
Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.
Harold Hulbert
Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections,
children tend to be sticky.

The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the
second half by our children.

children. One is roots; the other, wings.

The most effective form of birth control I know is spending
the day with my kids.
Jill Bensley
Women gather together to wear silly hats, eat dainty food, and
forget how unresponsive their husbands are. Men gather to talk
sports, eat heavy food, and forget how demanding their wives
are. Only where children gather is there any real chance of
fun.
Mignon McLaughlin
The Neurotic's Notebook.
Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call
him father!

If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much.

Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not
see.

You know your children are growing up when they stop asking
you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they're
going.

Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in
another time.

If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside
over the christening of all children, I should ask that her
gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible
that it would last throughout life.

part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.

If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all.

You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing
nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play,
and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so
busy again.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Emile.
In the United States today, there is a pervasive tendency to
treat children as adults, and adults as children. The options
of children are thus steadily expanded, while those of adults
are progressively constricted. The result is unruly children
and childish adults.
Thomas Szasz
In America there are two classes of travel - first class, and
with children.
Robert Benchley
A child is a curly dimpled lunatic.

There are only two things a child will share willingly - communicable
diseases and his mother's age.

The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning
of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world
there will not be, another child like him.
Pablo Casals
If I had my child to raise over again
I'd build self-esteem first and the house later
I'd finger paint more and point the finger less
I would do less correcting and more connecting
I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes
I would care to know less and know to care more
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites
I'd stop playing serious and seriously play
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars
I'd do more hugging and less tugging
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often
I would be firm less often and affirm much more
I'd model less about the love of power
And more about the power of love.
