    Quotes Regarding Children

  • 5 years ago

    I totally agree. Every child and every parent is a completely different person from everyone else. What may work for my child and family may not work for yours. Also, if the rules of parenting had been figured out without a doubt they wouldn't change every couple of years. But as long as they're loved most tend to come out all right, and it definately takes courage because no one wants to be responsible for raising a child who ends up "damaged" in some sort of way as a result of their parenting. Raising children is really sort of a scary situation lol.

    "After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So, plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure... that you really are strong, and you really do have worth."

    "To see unconditional love look to the eyes of a child."

    "Do not be afraid of love, God showers it unconditionally onto His children. No, do not be afraid of love, instead embrace it, cherish it, and complete it by giving it to all."

    "You told me I am a child, I know I am not. I know that one day you will miss this child who loved you a lot."

    "When your newly born child holds your little finger in his little fist, you're hooked for life."

    "The best way to love, is like a child, pure, innocent, and without hesitation."

    "Your Life's Account:

    Your happiness is your profit

    Your sorrows are your losses

    Your soul is your goodwill

    Your heart is your fixed asset

    Your duties are your outstanding expenses

    Your friendship is your hidden adjustment

    Your character is your capital

    Your knowledge is your investment

    Your patience is your interest

    Your mind is your bank balance

    Your bad thinking is your depreciation

    Your behavior is your journal entry

    Your wife is your partner

    Your child is your long term goal and

    Your death is your closing stock"

    :) :) :) hope it's enough for you.

    Children, taught either years beneath their intelligence or miles wide of relevance to it, or both: their intelligence becomes hopelessly bewildered, drawn off its centers, bored, or atrophied.

    -James Agee, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men

    When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them, they show us the state of our decay.
