Robert Fulghum
Every person passing through this life will unknowingly leave something and take something away. Most of this “something” cannot be seen or heard or numbered or scientifically detected or counted.

Robert Fulghum
Even the finest workman needs to inspect his work critically.
Robert Fulghum
Peace is not something you wish for, it's something you make
Robert Fulghum

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
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
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've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, that's the real test.
