More quotes by 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
It is our continuing love for our children that makes us want them to become all they can be, and their continuing love for us that helps them accept healthy discipline--from us and eventually from themselves.
Fred Rogers
Try your best to make goodness attractive. That's one of the toughest assignments you'll ever be given.
Fred Rogers
I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex.
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
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.
Fred Rogers
Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.
Fred Rogers
It's not always easy for a father to understand the interests and ways of his son. It seems the songs of our children may be in keys we've never tried. The melody of each generation emerges from all that's gone before. Each one of us contributes in some unique way to the composition of life.
Fred Rogers
When we're able to resign ourselves to the wishes that will never come true, there can be enormous energies available within us for whatever we CAN do.
Fred Rogers
I recently learned that in an average lifetime a person walks about sixty-five thousand miles. That's two and a half times around the world. I wonder where your steps will take you. I wonder how you'll use the rest of the miles you're given.
Fred Rogers
I doubt that we can ever successfully impose values or attitudes or behaviors on our children certainly not by threat, guilt, or punishment. But I do believe they can be induced through relationships where parents and children are growing together. Such relationships are, I believe, build on trust, example, talk, and caring.
Fred Rogers
The child is in me still and sometimes not so still.
Fred Rogers
Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.
Fred Rogers
I have really never considered myself a TV star. I always thought I was a neighbor who just came in for a visit.
Fred Rogers
As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has-or ever will have-something inside that is unique to all time.
Fred Rogers
Honesty is often very hard. The truth is often painful. But the freedom it can bring is worth the trying.
Fred Rogers
Feeling good about ourselves is essential in our being able to love others.
Fred Rogers
I think everybody longs to be loved and longs to know that he or she is lovable and, consequently, the greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they are loved and capable of loving.
Fred Rogers
Very early in our children's lives we will be forced to realize that the perfect untroubled life we'd like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don't want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.
Fred Rogers
It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.
Fred Rogers
