Quote

I recently learned that in an average lifetime a person walks about sixty-five thousand miles. That's two and a half times around the world. I wonder where your steps will take you. I wonder how you'll use the rest of the miles you're given.

In appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.
Fred Rogers
Image
I believe that appreciation is a holy thing--that when we look for what's best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we're doing what God does all the time. So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something sacred.

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.

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.

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.

Development comes from within. Nature does not hurry but advances slowly.
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
Image
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.

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

There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.

Love isn't a perfect state of caring.
Fred Rogers

When I was a boy I used to think that STRONG meant having big muscles, great physical power but the longer I live, the more I realize that real strength has much more to do with what is NOT seen. Real strength has to do with helping others.
Fred Rogers
Image
Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're equally infinite. Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.

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.
