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

Robert Fulghum
The leaves let go, the seeds let go, and I must let go sometimes, too, and cast my lot with another of nature’s imperfect but tenacious survivors.

But, they are everywhere and don't need us and kind of do what they please. So we call them weeds and murder them at every opportunity

It wasn’t in books. It wasn’t in a church. What I needed to know was out there in the world.
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
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
I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, that's the real test.
Robert Fulghum
The examined life is no picnic.
Robert Fulghum
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.
Robert Fulghum
Almost anything can be dealt with if people are of good will and light hearts and strong values.
Robert Fulghum
Wherever and however any one of us may be conceived, it is the same. We come into being in the arms of God.
Robert Fulghum
Above all, if what you've done is stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid.
Robert Fulghum
Hide-and-seek, grown-up style. Wanting to hide. Needing to be sought. Confused about being found.
Robert Fulghum
I do not want to know what you will hope for. I want to know what you will work for. I do not want your sympathy for the needs of humanity. I want your muscle. As the wagon driver said when they came to a long, hard hill: ‘Them that’s going on with us, get out and push. Them that ain’t, get out of the way’.
