Robert Fulghum
Speed and efficiency do not always increase the quality of life.
Robert Fulghum
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there at the sandpile at Sunday School.
Robert Fulghum
Even the finest workman needs to inspect his work critically.
Robert Fulghum
But love may have to be left off the exam. Most of us will never learn.
Robert Fulghum
It is the chair in honor of all those who, however competently, embrace the impossible. Sit in that chair someday.
Robert Fulghum
Weddings seem to be magnets for mishap and for whatever craziness lurks in family closets. In more ways than one, weddings bring out the ding-dong on everybody involved.
Robert Fulghum
This is an exercise in power - the power of mind over matter. If you don't mind being inadequate, it doesn't matter.
Robert Fulghum
You may never have proof of your importance but you are more important than you think. There are always those who couldn’t do without you. The rub is that you don’t always know who.
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
We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness — and call it love — true love.
Robert Fulghum
