More quotes by Fred Rogers
Development comes from within. Nature does not hurry but advances slowly.
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
Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.
Fred Rogers
Perhaps we think that we won't find another human being inside that person. Perhaps we think that there are some people in this world who I can't ever communicate with, and so I'll just give up before I try. And how sad it is to think that we would give up on any other creature who's just like us.
Fred Rogers
Peace means far more than the opposite of war.
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
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
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
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
I went into television because I hated it so, and I thought there's some way of using this fabulous instrument to nurture those who would watch and listen.
Fred Rogers
Propel, propel, propel your craft softly down liquid solution. Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, Existence is simply illusion.
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
It's a miracle when we finally discover whom we're best equipped to serve.
Fred Rogers
We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.
Fred Rogers
Love isn't a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like struggle.
Fred Rogers
Hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.
Fred Rogers
In the external scheme of things, shining moments are as brief as the twinkling of an eye, yet such twinklings are what eternity is made of -- moments when we human beings can say I love you, I'm proud of you, I forgive you, I'm grateful for you. That's what eternity is made of: invisible imperishable good stuff.
Fred Rogers
If it's mentionable, it's manageable.
Fred Rogers
I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world.
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.
