Fred McFeely Rogers (Mister Rogers)
"A love of learning has a lot to do with learning that we are loved." ~Fred Rogers
"All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are....Ten seconds of silence." ~Fred Rogers
"Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero to me. ” ~Fred Rogers
"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has-or ever will have-something inside that is unique to all time." ~Fred Rogers
"At the center of the Universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and that wants the best for every person. Anything that we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service." ~Fred Rogers
"Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. It takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. It takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. It takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it." ~Fred Rogers
"Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.” ~Fred Rogers
"I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex." ~Fred Rogers
"I recently learned that in an average lifetime a person walks about sixty-five thousand miles. That's two and a half times around the world. I wonder where your steps will take you. I wonder how you'll use the rest of the miles you're given." ~Fred Rogers
"I think everybody longs to be loved and longs to know that he or she is lovable and, consequently, the greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they are loved and capable of loving." ~Fred Rogers
“If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” ~Fred Rogers
“If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.” ~Fred (Mr.) Rogers
"I'm convinced that when we help our children find healthy ways of dealing with their feelings ― ways that don't hurt them or anyone else ― we're helping to make our world a safer, better place." ~Mister Rogers
"In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers." ~Fred Rogers
"Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered . . . just one kind word to another person." ~Fred Rogers
"Life is for service.” ~Fred Rogers
"Listening is a very active awareness of the coming together of at least two lives. Listening, as far as I'm concerned, is certainly a prerequisite of love. One of the most essential ways of saying 'I love you' is being a receptive listener." ~Fred Rogers
"Love begins with listening." ~Fred Rogers
“Music is the one art we all have inside. We may not be able to play an instrument, but we can sing along or clap or tap our feet. Have you ever seen a baby bouncing up and down in the crib in time to some music? When you think of it, some of that baby's first messages from his or her parents may have been lullabies, or at least the music of their speaking voices. All of us have had the experience of hearing a tune from childhood and having that melody evoke a memory or a feeling. The music we hear early on tends to stay with us all our lives.” ~Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember
"Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else.” ~Fred Rogers
"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." ~Fred Rogers
"Real strength has to do with helping others." ~Fred Rogers
"Some days, doing "the best we can" may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn't perfect on any front-and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else." ~Fred Rogers
"The child is in me still and sometimes not so still.” ~Fred Rogers
"The connections we make in the course of a life--maybe that's what heaven is.” ~Fred Rogers
"The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self.” ~Fred Rogers
"The kingdom of God is for the broken hearted." ~Fred Rogers
"The real issue in life is not how many blessings we have, but what we do with our blessings. Some people have many blessings and hoard them. Some have few and give everything away." ~Fred Rogers
"There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind." ~Fred Rogers
"We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are." ~Fred Rogers
"We Don't always succeed in what we try, certainly not by the world's standards, but I think you'll find it's the willingness to keep trying that matters most." ~Fred Rogers
"We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes." ~Fred Rogers
"What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What really matters is helping others win too. Even if it means slowing down and changing our course now and then." ~Fred Rogers
“Whether we're a preschooler or a young teen, a graduating college senior or a retired person, we human beings all want to know that we're acceptable, that our being alive somehow makes a difference in the lives of others.” ~Fred Rogers
"Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.” ~Fred Rogers
"You make each day a special day. You know how, by just your being you." ~Fred Rogers
