It wasn’t in books. It wasn’t in a church. What I needed to know was out there in the world.
Robert Fulghum
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A Beauty Bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.
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
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 do not want to know what you will hope for. I want to know what you will work for. I do not want your sympathy for the needs of humanity. I want your muscle. As the wagon driver said when they came to a long, hard hill: ‘Them that’s going on with us, get out and push. Them that ain’t, get out of the way’.

Almost anything can be dealt with if people are of good will and light hearts and strong values.
Robert Fulghum
Imagination is more important than information. Einstein said that, and he should know. And they come. And they look. And we push. And they fly. We to stay and die on our beds. They to go and die howsoever, yet inspiring those who come after them to find their own edge. And fly.
Robert Fulghum
We are the only creatures that both laugh and weep. I think it's because we are the only creatures that see the difference between the way things are and the way they might be.
Robert Fulghum
It doesn’t matter what you say you believe - it only matters what you do.
Robert Fulghum
And good neighbors make a huge difference in the quality of life. I agree.
Robert Fulghum
The examined life is no picnic.
Robert Fulghum
Share everything. Don't take things that aren't yours. Put things back where you found them.
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
It is the chair in honor of all those who, however competently, embrace the impossible. Sit in that chair someday.
Robert Fulghum
Sticks and stones will break our bones, but words will break our hearts.
Robert Fulghum
As one old gentleman put it, Son, I don't care if you're stark nekkid and wear a bone in your nose. If you kin fiddle, you're all right with me. It's the music we make that counts.
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
One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem.
