— John F. Kennedy childrenA generalseems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir. ➡
— Mahatma Gandhi childrenBut is it really necessary, in 1947, to teach children to use expressions like "native" and "Chinaman"? ➡
— George Orwell childrenHow paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children. ➡
— Charles Darwin childrenPeople like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live...[We] never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born. ➡
— Albert Einstein childrenLet parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence. ➡
— Plato childrenTo bear many children is considered not only a religious blessing but also an investment. The greater their number, some Indians reason, the more alms they can beg. ➡
— Indira Gandhi childrenOver at our place, we're sure of just one thing: everybody in thewas once a . So in planning a new picture, we don't think of grown-ups, and we don't think of children, but just of that fine, clean, unspoiled spot down deep in every one of us that maybe thehas made us forget and that maybe our pictures canrecall. ➡

— Michael Jackson childrenFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. ➡
— Ronald Reagan childrenThere is not a single extant study that supports all the arguments against men being with their children. It's absolute bollocks. ➡
— Bob Geldof childrenHow true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. 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 childrenI was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband; a mother, and you deprived me of my children. My blood alone remains: take it, but do not make me suffer long. ➡
— Marie Antoinette childrenImagine that everything you are typing is being read by the person you are applying to for your first job. Imagine that it's all going to be seen by your parents and your grandparents and your grandchildren as well. ➡
— Tim Berners Lee childrenHas it ever occurred to you...that parents are nothing but overgrown kids until their children drag them into adulthood? Usually kicking and screaming? ➡
— Stephen King childrenCall it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children. ➡
— Martin Luther King, Jr. childrenI have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it. ➡
— Harry S. Truman childrenThe fundamental defect of fathers is that they want their children to be a credit to them. ➡
— Bertrand Russell childrenOur natural dispositions may be good; but we have been badly brought up, and are full of anti-social personal ambitions andand snobberies. Had we not better teach our children to be better citizens than ourselves? We are not doing that at present. The Russians are. That is my last word. Think over it. ➡
— George Bernard Shaw childrenOne would have thought that it was even moreto limit population than property; and that the limit should be fixed by calculating the chances of mortality in the children, and of sterility in married persons. The neglect of this subject, which in existing states is so common, is a never-failing cause of poverty among the citizens; and poverty is the parent of revolution and crime. ➡
— Aristotle childrenHe that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried or childless men; which both in affection and means, have married and endowed the public. ➡

— Karl Marx childrenAnd kid Congress and the Senate, don't scold 'em. They are just children thats never grown up. They don't like to be corrected in company. Don't send messages to 'em, send candy. ➡
— Will Rogers childrenSome of us worship in churches, some in synagogues, some on golf courses ... yet we are all children of the same Judaic-Christian civilization, with much the same religious background basically. ➡
— Adlai Stevenson childrenIf the King's English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for the children of Texas! ➡
— Ma Ferguson childrenPerhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children. And if you don’t help us, who else in the world can help us do this? ➡

— Robert Benchley childrenTo waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed. ➡
— Theodore Roosevelt childrenWhen he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter, And when he cried the little children died in the streets. ➡
— W. H. Auden childrenThat night when he went back to his hotel, he wept for his dead children and all the other castrated boys, for his own lost youth, for those who were young no longer and those who died young, for those who fought for Salvador Allende and those who were too scared to fight. ➡
— Roberto Bola±o childrenDo not read as children do to enjoy themselves, or, as the ambitious do to educate themselves. No, read to live. ➡
— Gustave Flaubert children[R]arely is the question asked,... our... is our children learning? ➡
— George W. Bush childrenI realize that lawyers are brought up (probably from small children) to think that "technically true" is what matters, but when you make public PR statements, they should be more than "technically" true. They should be honest. There's a big f*cking difference. ➡
— Linus Torvalds childrenMatthew Leiah Keller sat beneath a watershed tree and brooded. Other children played all around him, but they ignored Matt. So did two teachers on monitor duty. People usually ignored Matt when he wanted to be alone. Uncle Matt was gone. Gone to a fate so horrible that the adults wouldn't even talk about it. ➡
— Larry Niven childrenIt is normally possible to be much more certain who your children are than who your brothers are. And you can be more certain still who you yourself are! ➡
— Richard Dawkins childrenGovernment by kings was first introduced into the world by the Heathens, from whom the children of Israel copied the custom. It was the most prosperous invention the Devil ever set on foot for the promotion of idolatry. ➡
— Thomas Paine childrenDust always blowing about the town, Except when sea-fog laid it down, And I was one of the children told Some of the blowing dust was gold. ➡
— Robert Frost childrenMy neighbour, or my servant, or my child, has done me an injury, and it is just that he should suffer an injury in return. Such is the doctrine which Jesus Christ summoned his whole resources of persuasion to oppose. "Love your enemy, bless those who curse you:" such, he says, is the practice of God, and such must ye imitate if ye would be the children of God. ➡
— Percy Bysshe Shelley childrenPhilosophers are often like little children, who first scribble random lines on a piece of paper with their pencils, and now ask an adult "What is that?" ➡
— Ludwig Wittgenstein childrenListen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five; Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year. ➡
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow childrenWhile Europe's eye is fix'd on mighty things, The fate of empires and the fall of kings; While quacks of State must each produce his plan, And even children lisp the Rights of Man; Amid this mighty fuss just let me mention, The Rights of Woman merit some attention. ➡
— Robert Burns childrenBy sports like these are all their cares beguil'd; The sports of children satisfy the child. ➡
— Oliver Goldsmith childrenSouls made of fire, and children of the sun, With whom revenge is virtue. ➡
— Edward Young childrenSteal! to be sure they may; and, egad, serve your best thoughts as gypsies do stolen children,—disfigure them to make 'em pass for their own. ➡
— Richard Brinsley Sheridan childrenTo you, all you have seems small: to me, all I have seems great. Your desire is insatiable, mine is satisfied. See children thrusting their hands into a narrow-necked jar, and striving to pull out the nuts and figs it contains: if they fill the hand, they cannot pull it out again, and then they fall to tears.—'Let go a few of them, and then you can draw out the rest!'—You, too, let your desire go! covet not many things, and you will obtain. (95). ➡
— Epictetus childrenThe healthy eye ought to see all visible things and not to say, I wish for green things; for this is the condition of the diseased eye. And the healthy hearing and smelling ought to be ready to perceive all that can be heard and smelled. And the healthy stomach ought to be with respect to all food just as the mill with respect to all things which it is formed to grind. And accordingly the healthy understanding ought to be prepared for everything which happens; but that which says, Let my dear children live, and let all men praise whatever I may do, is an eye which seeks for green things, or teeth which seek for soft things. ➡
— Marcus Aurelius childrenIt is the stupidest children who are the most childish and the stupidest grown-ups who are the most grown-up. ➡
— C. S. Lewis children"I die, I die!" the Mother said, "My children die for lack of Bread." ➡
— William Blake childrenOur children must have, or lack, those things that the children of the ordinary citizen have or lack; our families should understand this and struggle for it to be that way. ➡
— Che Guevara childrenFor of men it may generally be affirmed, that they are thankless, fickle, false studious to avoid danger, greedy of gain, devoted to you while you are able to confer benefits upon them, and ready, as I said before, while danger is distant, to shed their blood, and sacrifice their property, their lives, and their children for you; but in the hour of need they turn against you. ➡
— The Prince childrenMen who have absolutely nothing, such as beggars, have many children. ➡
— Montesquieu childrenDestroy him as you will, the bourgeois always bounces up — execute him, expropriate him, starve him out en masse, and he reappears in your children. ➡
— Cyril Connolly childrenBeing pleased with what they give you is proper of slaves. Asking for more is proper of children. Conquering more is proper of fools. ➡
— Fernando Pessoa childrenThere are no illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents. ➡
— Leon R. Yankwich childrenIf we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green. Maybe the purpose of this sorry and tragic error committed in my native Mississippi by two white adults on an afflicted Negro child is to prove to us whether or not we deserve to survive. Because if we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don’t deserve to survive, and probably won’t. ➡
— William Faulkner childrenWe are so far identical with our ancestors and our contemporaries that it is very rarely we can see anything that they do not see. It is not unjust that the sins of the fathers should be visited upon the children, for the children committed the sins when in the persons of their fathers. ➡
— Samuel Butler (novelist) childrenMama exhorted her children at every opportunity to "jump at de ." We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground. ➡
— Zora Neale Hurston childrenUnder each arm he carries an umbrella; one of them, with pictures on the inside, he spreads over the good children, and then they dream the most beautiful stories the whole night. But the other umbrella has no pictures, and this he holds over the naughty children so that they sleep heavily, and wake in the morning without having dreamed at all. ➡

— Carl Sagan childrenAllah’s Messenger kissed Al-Hasan ibn `Ali while Al-Aqra` ibn Habis At-Tamim was sitting with him . Al-Aqra` said, "I have ten children and have never kissed one of them." The Prophet cast a look at him and said, "Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully." ➡
— Muhammad childrenHungary, severed from half of the population and most of the natural resources that it had once claimed, had now to practice a sort of economic acupuncture, striving to know the magic nodes in the global energy flow where a pinprick could alter the workings of a major organ. Mathematics was one of the few disciplines where it was possible to exert that degree of leverage, and so the Hungarians had become phenomenally good at teaching it to their children. ➡
— Neal Stephenson childrenDo not handicap your children by making their lives easy. ➡
— Robert Heinlein childrenDo ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years? They are leaning their young heads against their mothers— And that cannot stop their tears. ➡
— Elizabeth Barrett Browning childrenNEW feet within my garden go, New fingers stir the sod; A troubadour upon the elm Betrays the solitude. New children play upon the green, New weary sleep below; And still the pensive spring returns, And still the punctual snow! ➡
— Emily Dickinson childrenHave you made greatness your companion, Although it be for children that you sigh:These are the clouds about the fallen sun, The majesty that shuts his burning eye. ➡
— William Butler Yeats childrenThe Three-Spined Stickleback. The father guards the nest and fans it with his pectoral fins until the children are able to shift for themselves. Then he eats them. ➡
— Will Cuppy childrenIt's not just about you taking care of "your" child. It's about you taking care of these children. ➡
— Tupac Shakur childrenVerily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea...Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. ➡
— Children childrenI have never worked as hard as now. I go for a brief walk in the morning. Then I come home and sit in my room without interruption until about three o’clock. My eyes can barely see. Then with my walking stick in hand I sneak off to the restaurant, but am so weak that I believe that if somebody were to call out my name, I would keel over and die. Then I go home and begin again. In my indolence during the past months I had pumped up a veritable shower bath, and now I have pulled the string and the ideas are cascading down upon me: healthy, happy, merry, gay, blessed children born with ease and yet all of them with the birthmark of my personality. ➡
— Sёren Kierkegaard childrenCyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts. ➡
— William Gibson childrenThere's one thing for sure; you can't kill sixteen children in less than two minutes with a club, a knife or even a machete. ➡
— Guns childrenGrandchildren: Come on, Grandfather! Do look at this engine. The Fat Controller: That's a tram engine, Stephen. Bridget: Is it electric? Toby: [angrily] WHOOSH!! Stephen: Shh! You've offended him! Bridget: But trams are electric, aren't they? The Fat Controller: They are mostly, but this is a steam tram. Stephen and Bridget: May we go in it, Grandfather? Please? The Fat Controller: [to the guard] STOP! ➡
— Thomas and Friends childrenDogs, like very small children, are quite mad. ➡
— T. H. White childrenAlec, do you believe in yourthat yourcaused bears to tear up little children merely because they made fun of an old man's bald head? ➡
— Job: A Comedy of Justice childrenIf Karl Rove is watching today, Karl, I want you to hear me loud and clear: I am going to provide tax cuts to ease the burdens for 31 million American families — and lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty — by raising the taxes on 0.1 percent of families — those who make more than $1,000,000 a year. You don't have to read my lips, I'm saying it. And if that makes me an 'old-style' Democrat, then I accept that label with pride and I dare you to come after me for it. ➡
— Wesley Clark childrenChildren are the vessels into which adults pour their poison. ➡
— Salman Rushdie childrenI think back to whatwrote about the fact that perhaps this world is a world in which children suffer, but we can lessen the number of suffering children, and if you do not do this, then who will do this? I'd like to feel that I'd done something to lessen that suffering. ➡
— Robert Kennedy childrenI'd like to protect children, too, but… is everything worth sacrificing to that? I mean, drugs have done a lot of good. […] They've midwived a lot of good ideas… lot of great songs, you know? I think "" is worth 10 dead kids. […] I thinkis worth 100 dead kids. There, I said it. ➡
— Bill Maher childrenI want his children to know: wasn't anything strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with. ➡
— Al Sharpton childrenMen are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children. ➡
— William Penn childrenIf there is an amateur reader still left in the world — or anybody who just reads and runs — I ask him or her, with untellable affection and gratitude, to split the dedication of this book four ways with my wife and children. ➡
— J. D. Salinger childrenI consider the saga of no lord of the Silver Stallion to be worth squabbling over. Your sagas in the end must all be perverted and engulfed by the great legend about Manuel. No matter how you strive against that legend, it will conquer: no matter what you may do or suffer, my doomed Guivric, your saga will be recast until it conforms in everything to the legend begotten by the terrified imaginings of a lost child. For men dare not face the universe with no better backing than their own resources; all men that live, and that go perforce about this world like blundering lost children whose rescuer is not yet in sight, have a vital need to believe in this sustaining legend about the Redeemer: and the wickedness and the foolishness of no man can avail against the fond optimism of mankind. ➡
— James Branch Cabell childrenI can tell you that it is no game for children, and I will confess that, in spite of my nine campaigns, I felt myself turn pale when the first ball flashed past me. ➡
— Arthur Conan Doyle childrenI am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing. ➡
