Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid.
Robert Fulghum
Image
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.
Robert Fulghum
Image
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?.

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

Image
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.

It is the chair in honor of all those who, however competently, embrace the impossible. Sit in that chair someday.

Living things have been doing just that for a long, long time. Through every kind of disaster and setback and catastrophe. We are survivors.
Robert Fulghum

It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber.
Robert Fulghum
Image
And good neighbors make a huge difference in the quality of life. I agree.

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

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.

There is nothing in your budget for joy. No books, no flowers, no music, not even a cold beer. And there is nothing in your budget to give away to someone else. We don’t help people who don’t have better values than you do.

Life is. I am. Anything might happen.

I talk about very serious human affairs but with a lightness of heart.
Robert Fulghum
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.
