Quotations on Children
The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
-Oscar Wilde
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.
-Marcelene Cox
Your children are your immortality.
-Anonymous
Be nice to your kids. They choose your nursing home.
-Thomas J Humphreys
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
-Jesse Jackson
You may give them your love but not your thought, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
-Kahlil Gabran
The hardest part of raising children is teaching them to ride bicycles. A father can run beside the bicycle or stand yelling directions while the child falls. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard.
-Sloan Wilson
Children are the keys to paradise.
-Richard Stoddard
A child, like your stomach, doesn't need all you can afford to give it.
-Frank A. Clark
The soul is healed by being with children.
-Fyodor Dostoyevsky
All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood.
-Benjamin Spock
