I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
Robert Fulghum
The Sikh gave him the money. When Menon asked for his address so that he could repay the man, the Sikh said that Menon owed the debt to any stranger who came to him in need, as long as he lived. The help came from a stranger and was to be repaid to a stranger.

Life is. I am. Anything might happen.
Robert Fulghum

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.

Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A Beauty Bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.

Robert Fulghum
If only the scientific experts could come up with something to get it out of our minds. One cup of fixit fizzle that will lift the dirt from our lives, soften our hardness, protect our inner parts, improve our processing, reduce our yellowing and wrinkling, improve our natural color, and make us sweet and good.
Robert Fulghum
And good neighbors make a huge difference in the quality of life. I agree.
Robert Fulghum
I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, that's the real test.
Robert Fulghum
Speed and efficiency do not always increase the quality of life.
Robert Fulghum
So you drive as far as you can, even when you can clearly read the sign. You want to think you are exempt, that it doesn’t apply to you. But it does. Life is still a dead end. And we still have a hard time believing it
Robert Fulghum
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
Life is lumpy. And a lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat, and a lump in a breast are not the same lump. One should learn the difference.
Robert Fulghum
But love may have to be left off the exam. Most of us will never learn.
Robert Fulghum
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.
Robert Fulghum
Anything can happen. The great banana peel of existence is always on the floor somewhere.
