Anything mentionable is manageable.

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.

Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.

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

Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered . . . just one kind word to another person.
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.

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.

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.

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.

[I]f we can bring our children understanding, comfort, and hopefulness when they need this kind of support, then they are more likely to grow into adults who can find these resources within themselves later on. (from the introduction)

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.

All of us have special ones who have loved us into being

Try your best to make goodness attractive. That's one of the toughest assignments you'll ever be given.
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.

Propel, propel, propel your craft softly down liquid solution. Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, Existence is simply illusion.

I don't think anyone can grow unless he's loved exactly as he is now, appreciated for what he is rather than what he will be.

All I know to do is to light the candle that has been given to me.
