Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.
Fred Rogers
Image
In appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.
Fred Rogers
Image
The purpose of life is to listen - to yourself, to your neighbor, to your world and to God and, when the time comes, to respond in as helpful a way as you can find ... from within and without.

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.

My friendship with Mitzi was like the friendship that many children have with their pets. My mother and father thought it was good for me to have a dog for a companion. Well it was good for me, but it was only many years after she died that I began to understand how good it was, and why.

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

It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.
Fred Rogers
Image
Deep within us-no matter who we are-there lives a feeling of wanting to be lovable, of wanting to be the kind of person that others like to be with. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.

Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.
Fred Rogers
Image
Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.

One of the greatest dignities of humankind is that each successive generation is invested in the welfare of each new generation.
Fred Rogers
Image
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?

I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex.
