Children Quotes
-
I've always kind of lived my life to be as much as possible a positive role model for children.
Corey Feldman
-
The U.S. has become the most egregious war-monger and terrorist nation in the world, as well as the long-time leading purveyor of weapons of war throughout the world, and because here at home, we have 50 million of our citizens living in poverty, one in four children surviving on Food Stamps, a collapsing education system, poor health care, and many other disasters, none of which can be addressed as long as the country keeps pouring trillions of dollars into war and militarism. This madness and criminality must end!
Dave Lindorff
-
To raise children you must have love and a wholesome understanding, and that is why a parent should pray fervently for their own salvation, so that their own sin does not get in the way. We can be saved from irritation and anger! Children can quickly sense if their parents are irritated, and then the children can be easily provoked and react stubbornly.
Esther Smith
-
When we give children advice or instant solutions, we deprive them of the experience that comes from wrestling with their own problems.
Adele Faber
-
I hope I can tell you what happened in Europe and support you in your fight to preserve freedom for your children and your grandchildren, and tell them what I believe the Islamic threat is, and to discuss it with anybody - also people who don't agree with me. This is democracy. This is civil society. We should cherish that.
Geert Wilders
-
I've always said that Watership Down is not a book for children. I say: it's a book, and anyone who wants to read it can read it.
Richard Adams
-
The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.
Jessica Lange

Now that I have children, I realize taking care of my children is more fun than anything in the whole world.
Chris Rock

What thing, in honor, had my father lost,
That need to be revived and breathed in me?
William Shakespeare
-
This is the moral challenge of our generation. Not only are the eyes of the world upon us. More important, succeeding generations depend on us. We cannot rob our children of their future.
Ban Ki-moon
-
Love. Children are loving, they dont gossip, they dont complain, theyre just open–hearted. Theyre ready for you. They dont judge. They dont see things by way of color. Theyre very child–like. Thats the problem with adults: they lose that child–like quality. And thats the level of inspiration thats so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. Its that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. And kids have it. I feel it right away from animals and children and nature. Of course.
Michael Jackson
-
It is axiomatic among writers that no one ever sues the writer of an unsuccessful book. Just let a book go over twenty-five thousand copies and it is surprising how many people's feelings are hurt, how many screwballs think their brain children have been stolen, and how many people feel that they have been portrayed in a manner calculated to bring infamy upon them.
Margaret Mitchell
-
There is no other time in a woman's life when she needs to be quite as smart as when she is looking after young children.
Katherine Ellison
-
There's no one with intelligence in this town except that man over there playing with the children, the one riding the stick horse. He has keen, fiery insight and vast dignity like the night sky, but he conceals it in the madness of child's play.
Rumi
-
We should make it a crime even to attempt to pollute. Our children should grow up next to parks, not poison.
Bill Clinton
-
If one takes full account of the persecution of heretics, the frequency and savagery of the religious wars which Christianity had endangered, the harm caused, especially to children, by the pernicious doctrine of original sin, a case could be made for saying that the world would have been better off without Christianity.
Sir Alfred Jules "Freddie" Ayer
-
We all like to think that if we were the victims of domestic abuse we'd up and leave - but it's not always as easy or straightforward as that. Women stay with abusive partners for all kinds of reasons - they love them, they fear them, they have children with them, they believe they can change them or they simply have no where else to go.
Kate Thornton
-
I love dancing, actually. My mother taught children's dance, ballet, tap, jazz...I'm very flexible.
Michael Angarano
-
Young children especially are receiving so much of the world through their ears and their eyes, particularly if they're pre-literate. So engaging them with sound, particularly sound that stirs them emotionally because of the sequence of notes, will make them pay attention.
Emma Walton Hamilton
-
If on one day we find the fast-spreading recognition of popular rights accompanied by a silent, growing perception of the rights of women, we also find it accompanied by a tendency towards a system of non-coercive education--that is, towards a practical illustration of the rights of children.
Herbert Spencer
-
People think you are an orphan when you are a child, and don't believe that old people can feel that they are orphans.
Agnes Varda
-
We don’t really want to know what soldiers go through in combat. We do not really want to know how many children are being molested and abused in our own society or how many couples—almost a third, as it turns out—engage in violence at some point during their relationship. We want to think of families as safe havens in a heartless world and of our own country as populated by enlightened, civilized people. We prefer to believe that cruelty occurs only in faraway places like Darfur or the Congo. It is hard enough for observers to bear witness to pain. Is it any wonder, then, that the traumatized individuals themselves cannot tolerate remembering it and that they often resort to using drugs, alcohol, or self-mutilation to block out their unbearable knowledge?
Bessel van der Kolk
