More quotes by 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
Fame is a four-letter word and like tape or zoom or face or pain or life or love, what ultimately matters is what we do with it.
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
Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space. Every one of us is a part of that jewel. A facet of that jewel. And in the perspective of infinity, our differences are infinitesimal.
Fred Rogers
I don't want to eat anything that has a mother
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
I hope you're proud of yourself for the times you've said yes, when all it meant was extra work for you and was seemingly helpful only to someone else.
Fred Rogers
I don't believe that children can develop in a healthy way unless they feel that they have value apart from anything they own or any skill that they learn. They need to feel they enhance the life of someone else, that they are needed. Who, better than parents, can let them know that?
Fred Rogers
Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.
Fred Rogers
If the grain of wheat could know fear, it would be paralyzed with anxiety at the thought of being dropped in the ground, covered over, put out of sight, doomed to inactivity, yet what a glorious harvest awaits it!
Fred Rogers
Solitude is different from loneliness, and it doesn't have to be a lonely kind of thing.
Fred Rogers
If it's mentionable, it's manageable.
Fred Rogers
Feeling good about ourselves is essential in our being able to love others.
Fred Rogers
The world is not always a kind place. That's something all children learn for themselves, whether we want them to or not, but it's something they really need our help to understand.
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
Whatever we choose to imagine can be as private as we want it to be. Nobody knows what you're thinking or feeling unless you share it.
Fred Rogers
Kids can spot a phony a mile away.
Fred Rogers
Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.
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
One of the greatest dignities of humankind is that each successive generation is invested in the welfare of each new generation.
Fred Rogers
