More quotes by Fred Rogers
Whether we're a preschooler or a young teen, a graduating college senior or a retired person, we human beings all want to know that we're acceptable, that our being alive somehow makes a difference in the lives of others.
Fred Rogers
If it's mentionable, it's manageable.
Fred Rogers
Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
Fred Rogers
Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.
Fred Rogers
Love isn't a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like struggle.
Fred Rogers
I believe that appreciation is a holy thing--that when we look for what's best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we're doing what God does all the time. So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something sacred.
Fred Rogers
Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.
Fred Rogers
When we leave our child in nursery school for the first time, it won't be just our child's feelings about separation that we will have to cope with, but our own feelings as well-from our present and from our past, parents are extra vulnerable to new tremors from old earthquakes.
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
When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping. To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world
Fred Rogers
Development comes from within. Nature does not hurry but advances slowly.
Fred Rogers
All of us have special ones who have loved us into being
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
Kids can spot a phony a mile away.
Fred Rogers
Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're equally infinite. Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.
Fred Rogers
It's a miracle when we finally discover whom we're best equipped to serve.
Fred Rogers
[I]f we can bring our children understanding, comfort, and hopefulness when they need this kind of support, then they are more likely to grow into adults who can find these resources within themselves later on. (from the introduction)
Fred Rogers
I went into television because I hated it so, and I thought there's some way of using this fabulous instrument to nurture those who would watch and listen.
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
As different as we are from one another, as unique as each one of us is, we are much more the same than we are different. That may be the most essential message of all, as we help our children grow toward being caring, compassionate, and charitable adults.
Fred Rogers
