More quotes by Fred Rogers
There is no normal life that is free of pain. It's the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth.
Fred Rogers
Love isn't a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like struggle.
Fred Rogers
Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.
Fred Rogers
We want to raise our children so that they can take a sense of pleasure in both their own heritage and the diversity of others.
Fred Rogers
When I was a boy I used to think that STRONG meant having big muscles, great physical power but the longer I live, the more I realize that real strength has much more to do with what is NOT seen. Real strength has to do with helping others.
Fred Rogers
My friendship with Mitzi was like the friendship that many children have with their pets. My mother and father thought it was good for me to have a dog for a companion. Well it was good for me, but it was only many years after she died that I began to understand how good it was, and why.
Fred Rogers
Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.
Fred Rogers
Imagining may be the first step in making it happen, but it takes the real time and real efforts of real people to learn things, make things, turn thoughts into deeds or visions into inventions.
Fred Rogers
Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.
Fred Rogers
Some days, doing the best we can may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn't perfect on any front-and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.
Fred Rogers
Children who have learned to be comfortably dependent can become not only comfortably independent but also comfortable with having people depend on them. They can lean, stand, and be leaned upon, because they know what a good feeling it can be to feel needed.
Fred Rogers
Peace means far more than the opposite of war.
Fred Rogers
Perhaps we think that we won't find another human being inside that person. Perhaps we think that there are some people in this world who I can't ever communicate with, and so I'll just give up before I try. And how sad it is to think that we would give up on any other creature who's just like us.
Fred Rogers
Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered . . . just one kind word to another person.
Fred Rogers
We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.
Fred Rogers
It's a miracle when we finally discover whom we're best equipped to serve.
Fred Rogers
Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.
Fred Rogers
In the external scheme of things, shining moments are as brief as the twinkling of an eye, yet such twinklings are what eternity is made of -- moments when we human beings can say I love you, I'm proud of you, I forgive you, I'm grateful for you. That's what eternity is made of: invisible imperishable good stuff.
Fred Rogers
It always helps to have people we love beside us when we have to do difficult things in life.
Fred Rogers
Love and trust, in the space between what’s said and what’s heard in our life, can make all the difference in the world.
