You will continue to read stories of crookedness and corruption - of policemen who lie and steal, doctors who reap where they do not sew, politicians on the take. Don't be misled. They are news because they are the exceptions.

We could learn a lot from crayons some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.

Why is love easy? I don’t know. And the raccoons don’t say.
Robert Fulghum
Image
But love may have to be left off the exam. Most of us will never learn.

Share everything. Don't take things that aren't yours. Put things back where you found them.

If you want an interesting party sometime, combine cocktails and a fresh box of crayons for everyone.

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.

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
Image
I fear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances.

Sometimes history knocks at the most ordinary door to see if anyone is home. Sometimes someone is.
Robert Fulghum
Image
Living things have been doing just that for a long, long time. Through every kind of disaster and setback and catastrophe. We are survivors.

A giraffe has a black tongue twenty-seven inches long and no vocal cords. A giraffe has nothing to say. He just goes on giraffing.
