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.

More quotes by 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
Some days, doing the best we can may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn't perfect on any front-and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.
Fred Rogers
Sometimes people are good, and they do just what they should. But the very same people who are good sometimes are the very same people who are bad sometimes. It's funny but it's true. Its the same isn't it, for me and . . .
Fred Rogers
A love of learning has a lot to do with learning that we are loved.
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
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
You know, you don't have to look like everybody else to be acceptable and to feel acceptable.
Fred Rogers
I believe it's a fact of life that what we have is less important than what we make out of what we have.
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
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
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
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
Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.
Fred Rogers
Very early in our children's lives we will be forced to realize that the perfect untroubled life we'd like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don't want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.
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
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
Real strength has to do with helping others.
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
Love isn't a perfect state of caring.
Fred Rogers
The world needs a sense of worth, and it will achieve it only by its people feeling that they are worthwhile.
Fred Rogers
