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

I've always made a clear distinction between making a life and making a living.
Robert Fulghum
Love the battle between chaos and imagination. Remember: Acting is living truthfully in imaginary circumstances. Remember: Acting is the way to live the greatest number of lives. Remember: Acting is the same as real life, lived intentionally. Never forget: The Fruit is out on the end of the limb. Go there.

Robert Fulghum
Life is lumpy. And a lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat, and a lump in a breast are not the same lump. One should learn the difference.

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. It’s what we leave in the minds of other people and what they leave in ours. Memory. The census doesn’t count it. Nothing counts without it.
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
One of life's best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem.
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
Sometimes history knocks at the most ordinary door to see if anyone is home. Sometimes someone is.
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
The Sikh gave him the money. When Menon asked for his address so that he could repay the man, the Sikh said that Menon owed the debt to any stranger who came to him in need, as long as he lived. The help came from a stranger and was to be repaid to a stranger.

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
The world does not need tourists who ride by in a bus clucking their tongues. The world as it is needs those who will love it enough to change it, with what they have, where they are.
Robert Fulghum
Play fair. Don't hit people. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.

Never forget that music is too important to be left entirely in the hands of professionals.
