Those of us who are in this world to educate-to care for-young children have a special calling: a calling that has very little to do with the collection of expensive possessions but has a lot to do with worth inside of heads and hearts.

More quotes by Fred Rogers
If your trusted and people will allow you to share their inner gardern...what better gift?
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
We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.
Fred Rogers
I don't think anyone can grow unless he's loved exactly as he is now, appreciated for what he is rather than what he will be.
Fred Rogers
Often out of periods of losing come the greatest strivings toward a new winning streak.
Fred Rogers
Feeling good about ourselves is essential in our being able to love others.
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
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
Children who have learned to be comfortably dependent can become not only comfortably independent but also comfortable with having people depend on them. They can lean, stand, and be leaned upon, because they know what a good feeling it can be to feel needed.
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
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
If it's mentionable, it's manageable.
Fred Rogers
Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life's important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives.
Fred Rogers
Propel, propel, propel your craft softly down liquid solution. Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, Existence is simply illusion.
Fred Rogers
I think of discipline as the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.
Fred Rogers
All life events are formative. All contribute to what we become, year by year, as we go on growing. As my friend the poet Kenneth Koch once said, You aren't just the age you are. You are all the ages you ever have been!
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
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 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
The child is in me still and sometimes not so still.
Fred Rogers
