More quotes by 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
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
I don't want to eat anything that has a mother
Fred Rogers
It's a miracle when we finally discover whom we're best equipped to serve.
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
All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are....Ten seconds of silence.
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
Feelings about money -- saving and spending, holding back and letting go -- start very early in our lives. Stingy people have often been forced to give when they were very, very young, when they weren't ready. And generous people have often been really appreciated when they were very young.
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
My hunch is that if we allow ourselves to give who we really are to the children in our care, we will in some way inspire cartwheels in their hearts.
Fred Rogers
Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.
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
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
Development comes from within. Nature does not hurry but advances slowly.
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
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
What interests me so much about the characters of the Bible is that they make mistakes but God uses them anyway, in important ways. Nobody's perfect, but God can even use our imperfection.
Fred Rogers
Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.
Fred Rogers
You know, you don't have to look like everybody else to be acceptable and to feel acceptable.
Fred Rogers
I feel the greatest gift we can give to anybody is the gift of our honest self.
Fred Rogers
