More quotes by Robert Fulghum
to understand our love they'd have to turn the world upside down
Robert Fulghum
But love may have to be left off the exam. Most of us will never learn.
Robert Fulghum
I get tired of hearing it's a crummy world and that people are no damned good. What kind of talk is that? I know a place in Payette, Idaho, where a cook and a waitress and a manager put everything they've got into laying a chicken-fried steak on you.
Robert Fulghum
To insist on one's place in the scheme of things and to live up to that place.To empower others in their reaching for some place in the scheme of things.To do these things is to make fairy tales come true.
Robert Fulghum
Life is. I am. Anything might happen.
Robert Fulghum
Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid.
Robert Fulghum
One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem.
Robert Fulghum
Sticks and stones will break our bones, but words will break our hearts.
Robert Fulghum
The winding down of summer puts me in a heavy philosophical mood.
Robert Fulghum
Love the battle between chaos and imagination. Remember: Acting is living truthfully in imaginary circumstances. Remember: Acting is the way to live the greatest number of lives. Remember: Acting is the same as real life, lived intentionally. Never forget: The Fruit is out on the end of the limb. Go there.
Robert Fulghum
We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness — and call it love — true love.
Robert Fulghum
Anything can happen. The great banana peel of existence is always on the floor somewhere.
Robert Fulghum
I'd like to speak a foreign language well enough to get the jokes. I'd like to talk with Socrates, and watch Michelangelo sculpt David. I'd like to see the world as it was a million years ago and a million years hence.
Robert Fulghum
Why is love easy? I don’t know. And the raccoons don’t say.
Robert Fulghum
Making a living and having a life are not the same thing. Making a living and making a life that's worthwhile are not the same thing. Living the good life and living a good life are not the same thing. A job title doesn't even come close to answering the question. What do you do?.
Robert Fulghum
If you tell people you talk to God, they'll think you're religious, but if you say God talks to you, it's ten to one they'll think you're crazy.
Robert Fulghum
If you can't find the exact quote you want, make it up.
Robert Fulghum
Peace is not something you wish for, it's something you make
Robert Fulghum
If dandelions were rare and fragile, people would knock themselves out to pay $14.95 a plant, raise them by hand in greenhouses, and form dandelion societies and all that. But, they are everywhere and don't need us and kind of do what they please. So we call them weeds and murder them at every opportunity
Robert Fulghum
To be human is to keep rattling the bars of the cage of existence, hollering, 'What's it for?'
