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
Image
I feel the greatest gift we can give to anybody is the gift of our honest self.
Fred Rogers
Image
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
Image
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
Silence is so powerful, so important. There is so much to be learned from it.
Fred Rogers

A love of learning has a lot to do with learning that we are loved.
Fred Rogers

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.

Image
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.

Love isn't a state of perfect caring, it is an active noun like struggle.
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?
Fred Rogers
Image
I hope you're proud of yourself for the times you've said yes, when all it meant was extra work for you and was seemingly helpful only to someone else.
Fred Rogers
Image
How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us.
Fred Rogers
Image
If the grain of wheat could know fear, it would be paralyzed with anxiety at the thought of being dropped in the ground, covered over, put out of sight, doomed to inactivity, yet what a glorious harvest awaits it!
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.
Fred Rogers
Image
In appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.
Fred Rogers
Image
All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are....Ten seconds of silence.
Fred Rogers
Image
Try your best to make goodness attractive. That's one of the toughest assignments you'll ever be given.
Fred Rogers
Image
The older I get, the more convinced I am that the space between people who are trying their best to understand each other is hallowed ground.
Fred Rogers

Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me.
