From The Little Quote Book, I picked up at Emarat:
Children
A Gift From God.
“The real menace about dealing with a child is that in no time you begin to sound like one.”
“When children are doing nothing, they are doing mischief.”
“Everyone is in awe of the lion tamer in a cage with half a dozen lions – everyone but a school bus driver.”
“Children really brighten up a household. They never turn the lights off.”
“For a child to get very clean something else has to get very dirty. That’s why they need to invent use and throw bath towels.”
“Children are a great comfort in your old age, and they help you reach it faster, too.”
“Children’s parties remind you that there are children more awful than your own.”
“Grandchildren are God’s reward for not killing your own children.”
“You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.”
“Anyone who says ‘Easy as taking candy from a baby’ has never tried it.”
“Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining it to them.”
“Never underestimate a child’s ability to get into more trouble.”

“I asked mom if I was a gifted child. She said they certainly wouldn’t have paid for me. “
“Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth.”
“The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.”
“Be nice to your kids. They’ll choose your nursing home.”
“Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections, children tend to be sticky.”
“Outings are so much more fun when we can savour them through the children’s eyes.”
“Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.”
“You spend the first 2 years of their lives teaching them to walk and talk, then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and shut-up.”

“Don’t force your child to tell the truth all the time. Especially if you’ve been lying about your weight.”
“We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.”

Filed under: Quotes — ummeaaiman @ 8:46 pm

Ghlenn has lended me his 4th Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul. I’ve found some pretty amazing quotes that serve to me as great food for thought. I’ll have to return his book in a few days, so I thought of compiling my favorite quotes in a special post, which I can read at anytime and feel instantly better.
