More quotes by Fred Rogers
In appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.
Fred Rogers
Feeling good about ourselves is essential in our being able to love others.
Fred Rogers
Love isn't a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like struggle.
Fred Rogers
Listening is a very active awareness of the coming together of at least two lives. Listening, as far as I'm concerned, is certainly a prerequisite of love. One of the most essential ways of saying 'I love you' is being a receptive listener.
Fred Rogers
A love of learning has a lot to do with learning that we are loved.
Fred Rogers
Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we are not perfect.
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
I think it's very important - no matter what you may do professionally - to keep alive some of the healthy interests of your youth. Children's play is not just kids' stuff. Children's play is rather the stuff of most future inventions.
Fred Rogers
We all have only one life to live on Earth, and through television we have the choice of encouraging others to demean this life or to cherish it in creative, imaginative ways.
Fred Rogers
The child is in me still and sometimes not so still.
Fred Rogers
Deep within us-no matter who we are-there lives a feeling of wanting to be lovable, of wanting to be the kind of person that others like to be with. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.
Fred Rogers
I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex.
Fred Rogers
Kids can spot a phony a mile away.
Fred Rogers
Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.
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
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 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
Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered . . . just one kind word to another person.
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
You know, you don't have to look like everybody else to be acceptable and to feel acceptable.
Fred Rogers
