Robert Fulghum
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.
Robert Fulghum
Love is a fabric which never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the water of adversity and grief.
Robert Fulghum
Sometimes history knocks at the most ordinary door to see if anyone is home. Sometimes someone is.
Robert Fulghum
