More quotes by Robert Fulghum
The leaves let go, the seeds let go, and I must let go sometimes, too, and cast my lot with another of nature’s imperfect but tenacious survivors.
Robert Fulghum
Desire is the intangible quality that has more impact on success than talent, education, or IQ. You can't see desire, but you can feel its presence, and see its results in the lives of successful people.
Robert Fulghum
to understand our love they'd have to turn the world upside down
Robert Fulghum
I often say that I don't worry about the meaning of life-I can't handle that big stuff. What concerns me is the meaning in life-day by day, hour by hour, while I'm doing whatever it is I do. What counts is not what I do, but how I think about myself while I'm doing it.
Robert Fulghum
Wherever and however any one of us may be conceived, it is the same. We come into being in the arms of God.
Robert Fulghum
Love is a fabric which never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the water of adversity and grief.

Robert Fulghum

Robert Fulghum

Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Robert Fulghum
This is an exercise in power - the power of mind over matter. If you don't mind being inadequate, it doesn't matter.
Robert Fulghum
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
Robert Fulghum
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there at the sandpile at Sunday School.
Robert Fulghum
Life is. I am. Anything might happen.
Robert Fulghum
Anything can happen. The great banana peel of existence is always on the floor somewhere.
Robert Fulghum
Weddings seem to be magnets for mishap and for whatever craziness lurks in family closets. In more ways than one, weddings bring out the ding-dong on everybody involved.
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
Hide-and-seek, grown-up style. Wanting to hide. Needing to be sought. Confused about being found.
Robert Fulghum
The winding down of summer puts me in a heavy philosophical mood.
