Child Quotes
-
Confront a child, a puppy, and a kitten with a sudden danger; the child will turn instinctively for assistance, the puppy will grovel in abject submission, the kitten will brace its tiny body for a frantic resistance.
Hector Hugh Munro
-
Now she watched Nat as a small child watches a teacher from whom it must at all costs learn. He took to himself each day as it came with childlike trustfulness, and so did she. He never complained, and neither did she. He took every misfortune with a grin, and so did she. He took upon himself all the hardest and most unpleasant duties as a matter of mere routine, and she tried to do the same.
Elizabeth Goudge
-
As to your families my counsel is, never lay down your authority to a wife or child, but treat them so kindly they will never want to leave you.
Brigham Young
-
Lips all crude scarlet, and eyes as absurdly big and round as a child's good-by kiss.
Eleanor Hallowell Abbott
-
The tyrant is a child of pride.
Sophocles
-
And remember, child, that nothing is ever done beautifully, which is done in rivalship; or nobly, which is done in pride.
John Ruskin
-
I have a good cry once in a while; it's such a great release. Or it could be a cry of joy - watching your child being born or your child walking across a graduation stage.
Raheem DeVaughn
-
...there began to come to her a first dim realization of God's humility. Rejected by the proud in His own right by what humble means He chose to succor them; through the spirit of a child, a poor gypsy or an old man, by a song perhaps, or even it might be by the fall of a leaf or the scent of a flower. For His infinite and humble patience nothing was too small to advance His purpose of salvation and eternity was not too long for its accomplishment.
Elizabeth Goudge
-
In love affairs, there is no mediator like a merry, simple-hearted child - ever ready to cement divided hearts, to span the unfriendly gulf of custom, to melt the ice of cold reserve, and overthrow the separating walls of dread formality and pride.
Anne Bronte
-
Creative action plays with the unknown. But as the child fears the dark... the adult child will be fearful too, faced with the dark world of the unknown mind, with vast concepts looking enormous just beyond the front yard.
Arthur J. Deikman
-
I think that if you start teaching about giving back and helping other people young, that will be a given for your child their whole life.
Eva LaRue
-
Child of the pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder.
Lewis Carroll
-
Where does a child of mine get all that hair, I wonder? Arthur’s not exceptionally hirsute, and the men on my side of the family are as bald as potatoes. I must have had an affair with a gorilla before he was born, but you’d think I’d remember something like that, wouldn’t you? ... Be a dear and remind me to leave my brandy flask at home the next time I visit the zoo.
Bart Yates
-
There either is or is not, that’s the way things are. The colour of the day. The way it felt to be a child. The saltwater on your sunburnt legs. Sometimes the water is yellow, sometimes it’s red. But what colour it may be in memory, depends on the day. I’m not going to tell you the story the way it happened. I’m going to tell it the way I remember it.
Charles Dickens
-
How strange when an illusion dies. It's as though you've lost a child.
Judy Garland
-
Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?
Michael Jackson
-
Better a child should be ignorant of a thousand truths than have consecrated in its heart a single lie.
John Ruskin
-
I hated it so much as a child. I just didn't like it when punk bands went metal, it really bothered me. It was happening left and right in the 1980s. It started I think with D.C. bands - G.I., Soul Side, they went metal. Right at that time, R.E.M. was coming out, these more kinda feminine bands, and I was more drawn to that than to go metal. And you remember MTV, with the bad metal. But even Metallica, it just wasn't my direction.
Stephen Malkmus
Pavement
