More quotes by 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
The gift was not large as money goes, and my need was not great, but the spirit of the gift is beyond price and leaves me blessed and in debt.
Robert Fulghum
It is the chair in honor of all those who, however competently, embrace the impossible. Sit in that chair someday.
Robert Fulghum
To insist on one's place in the scheme of things and to live up to that place.To empower others in their reaching for some place in the scheme of things.To do these things is to make fairy tales come true.
Robert Fulghum
To ponder is not to brood or grieve or even meditate. It is to wonder at a deep level.
Robert Fulghum
I fear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances.
Robert Fulghum
And good neighbors make a huge difference in the quality of life. I agree.
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
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
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there at the sandpile at Sunday School.
Robert Fulghum
We could learn a lot from crayons some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.
