Anything can happen. The great banana peel of existence is always on the floor somewhere.
Robert Fulghum
Image
Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid.
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.

Sticks and stones will break our bones, but words will break our hearts.

But love may have to be left off the exam. Most of us will never learn.

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?.

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.

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.
Robert Fulghum
Image
I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, that's the real test.
Robert Fulghum
Image
The point is that getting married for lust or money or social status or even love is usually trouble. The point is that marriage is a maze into which we wander - a maze that is best got through with a great companion.

The winding down of summer puts me in a heavy philosophical mood.
Robert Fulghum
Image
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've always made a clear distinction between making a life and making a living.
Robert Fulghum
Image
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
Image
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

To be human is to keep rattling the bars of the cage of existence, hollering, 'What's it for?'
Robert Fulghum

to understand our love they'd have to turn the world upside down

Love is a fabric which never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the water of adversity and grief.
