here it is:

(from a German website, and it's the only appearance of this quote...a bit suspicious)

From that page:

"Don't completely prepare the ground for your children otherwise they might run their head against a wall."

It's suspicious not only because it's the only appearance of the quote, but the wording, punctuation, and capitalization are a bit off, and the caption is also typical of English written by Germans.

That said, it's better than the current sentence:

"Do not remove all the stones out of your childrens way, otherwise they might once run their head against a wall."

Here's a suggested version:

"Don't take all the stones out of your children's way, or they might hit their head against a wall."
