The Best Parenting Quotes

Quotes are a fun (and enlightening!) way to see how others view “the greatest job in the world” an of course, children. Here are some of the funniest and most profound:

Bill Cosby

�My childhood should have taught me lessons for my own fatherhood, but it didn’t because parenting can only be learned by people who have no children.�

No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I’m not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.�

�Some authority on parenting once said, “Hold them very close and then let them go.” This is the hardest truth for a father to learn: that his children are continuously growing up and moving away from him (until, of course, they move back in).�

Peter de Vries

�There are times when parenthood seems nothing more than feeding the hand that bites you�

Alvin Toffler

�Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.�

Charles Dickens

�Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.�

Anne Frank

“How 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. ”

Margaret Fuller

�What a difference it makes to come home to a child!�

GOETHE

�If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses.�

�Unlike grownups, children have little need to deceive themselves.�

And my personal favourite:

Unknown

“A hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank-account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the make of car I drove. But the world may be different, because I was important in the life of a child.”
