More quotes by Robert Fulghum
Only an open mind still has room for new knowledge. What is outgrown and used up must be discarded to make room for what is yet to be learned. And much of the best thinking is done alone-in deserts, on beaches, in bed, behind closed doors. It is why we say we need to get away-to escape from clutter and busyness-to hear ourselves think.
Robert Fulghum
For all my good intentions, there are days when things go wrong or I fall into old habits. When things are not going well, when I'm grumpy or mad, I'll realize that I've not been paying attention to my soul and I've not been following my best routine.
Robert Fulghum
Just when you thought that you already learned the way how to live, life changes - and you're left the same as you begun.

Robert Fulghum
Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid.
Robert Fulghum
You may never have proof of your importance but you are more important than you think. There are always those who couldn’t do without you. The rub is that you don’t always know who.
Robert Fulghum
And good neighbors make a huge difference in the quality of life. I agree.
Robert Fulghum
But love may have to be left off the exam. Most of us will never learn.
Robert Fulghum
Why is love easy? I don’t know. And the raccoons don’t say.
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
My goal now is to dance all the dances as long as I can, and then to sit down contented after the last elegant tango some sweet night and pass on because there wasn't another dance left in me.
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
Play fair. Don't hit people. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Robert Fulghum
Sometimes history knocks at the most ordinary door to see if anyone is home. Sometimes someone is.
Robert Fulghum
The winding down of summer puts me in a heavy philosophical mood.
