This is an exercise in power - the power of mind over matter. If you don't mind being inadequate, it doesn't matter.

More quotes by Robert Fulghum
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there at the sandpile at Sunday School.
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
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
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
Share everything. Don't take things that aren't yours. Put things back where you found them.
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
Play fair. Don't hit people. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Robert Fulghum
Life is. I am. Anything might happen.
Robert Fulghum
Almost anything can be dealt with if people are of good will and light hearts and strong values.
Robert Fulghum
My goal now is to dance all the dances as long as I can, and then to sit down contented after the last elegant tango some sweet night and pass on because there wasn't another dance left in me.
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
The winding down of summer puts me in a heavy philosophical mood.
Robert Fulghum
The examined life is no picnic.
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.
Robert Fulghum
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?.
Robert Fulghum
If you tell people you talk to God, they'll think you're religious, but if you say God talks to you, it's ten to one they'll think you're crazy.
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
Never forget that music is too important to be left entirely in the hands of professionals.
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.
