Favorite quotes for grandparents

Back in April, I shared a post highlighting funny quotes for grandparents that proved to be quite popular. Today I decided to share more grandparent quotes, but this time on a more serious note.

I hope you’ll share these quotes with your residents. And remember that a grandparent and a grandchild aren’t always connected by DNA. A grandparent can be any older adult who opens their heart to a child.

  • Grandparents are a delightful blend of laughter, caring deeds, wonderful stories, and love. (author unknown)
  • What a wonderful bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars’ worth of pleasure. (Gene Perret)
  • Grandparents make the world a little softer, a little kinder, and a little warmer. (author unknown)
  • I would love to go back and travel the road not taken, if I knew at the end of it I’d find the same set of grandkids. (Robert Brault)

  • Grandparents, like heroes, are as necessary to a child’s growth as vitamins. (Joyce Allston)
  • A grandparent is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher, and a little bit best friend. (author unknown)
  • Few things are more delightful than grandkids fighting over your lap. (Doug Larson)
  • Grandchildren are God’s way of compensating us for growing old. (Mary H. Waldrip)

  • Grandchildren give us a second chance to do things better because they bring out the best in us. (author unknown)
  • A child needs a grandparent, anybody’s grandparent, to grow a little more securely into an unfamiliar world. (Charles and Ann Morse)
  • Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. (Alex Haley)
  • Grandmother always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete. (Marcy DeMaree)

  • Grandparents are similar to a piece of string—handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their grandchildren. (author unknown)
  • A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty. (author unknown)
  • Grandma and Grandpa, tell me a story and snuggle me with your love. When I’m in your arms, the world seems small and we’re blessed by the heavens above. (Laura Spiess)
  • One of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new grandbaby around the finger of a grandfather. (Joy Hargrove)
