More quotes by Robert Fulghum
But love may have to be left off the exam. Most of us will never learn.
Robert Fulghum
It wasn’t in books. It wasn’t in a church. What I needed to know was out there in the world.
Robert Fulghum
If you can't find the exact quote you want, make it up.
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’.
Robert Fulghum
Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
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
It doesn’t matter what you say you believe - it only matters what you do.
Robert Fulghum
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
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
If you want an interesting party sometime, combine cocktails and a fresh box of crayons for everyone.
Robert Fulghum
to understand our love they'd have to turn the world upside down
Robert Fulghum
I fear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances.
Robert Fulghum
Imagination is more important than information. Einstein said that, and he should know. And they come. And they look. And we push. And they fly. We to stay and die on our beds. They to go and die howsoever, yet inspiring those who come after them to find their own edge. And fly.
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
About winning and losing: It isn't important, what really counts is how you play the game. About playing the game: PLAY TO WIN!
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
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
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
Peace is not something you wish for, it's something you make
Robert Fulghum
If dandelions were rare and fragile, people would knock themselves out to pay $14.95 a plant, raise them by hand in greenhouses, and form dandelion societies and all that. 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
Robert Fulghum
