With seven nannies a child will be without eyes

Wife and children are bills of charges

There’s only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it

When children stand quiet they have done some ill

When children stand quiet, they have done some harm

What children hear at home, soon flies abroad

We are all Adam’s children

Train up a child in the way he should

The parson always christens his own child first

The cobbler’s children usually go unshod

The child is father of the man

The burnt child fears the fire

The burnt child dreads the fire

The best smell is bread, the best savour salt, the best ove that of children

The best horse needs breaking, and the aptest child needs teaching

Put another man’s child in your bosom, and he’ll creep out at your elbow

Proverbs are the children of experience

Many kiss the child for the nurse’s sake

Old men are twice children

Like parents, like children

Spare the rod and spoil the child

He that wipes the childs nose, kisseth the mothers cheeke

A house without children is a cemetery

A child’s service is little, yet he is no little fool that despises it

A child may have too much of his mother’s blessing

Bachelors’ wives and maid’s children are well taught

Child saith nothing, but what he heard at the fire

Children and chicken must be always picking

Children and fools cannot lie

Children are certain cares, but uncertain comforts

Children are to be deceived with comfits and men with oaths

Children pick up words as pigeons peas, and utter them again as God shall please

Children suck the mother when they are young, and the father when they are old

Children when they are little make their parents fools, when they are great they make them mad

Children will do like children
