More quotes by Robert Fulghum

Robert Fulghum
I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, that's the real test.
Robert Fulghum
Peace is not something you wish for, it's something you make
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.

I talk about very serious human affairs but with a lightness of heart.
Robert Fulghum
I once listed all the good things I did over the past year, and then turned them into resolution form and backdated them. That was a good feeling
Robert Fulghum
It wasn’t in books. It wasn’t in a church. What I needed to know was out there in the world.
Robert Fulghum
The world does not need tourists who ride by in a bus clucking their tongues. The world as it is needs those who will love it enough to change it, with what they have, where they are.
Robert Fulghum
Life is lumpy. And a lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat, and a lump in a breast are not the same lump. One should learn the difference.
Robert Fulghum
It doesn’t matter what you say you believe - it only matters what you do.
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
