Fred Rogers

"The most important thing is for you to know that you're you and that is enough."

"You bring out the best in me."

"I think we all know that we can't give what we don't have."

"We come into the world just hungry and naked and helpless and we depend on the kindness of others."

"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."

"All people have value."

"Anything that is mentionable can be manageable."

"You've made a new neighbor feel welcome."

"It's the children that we need to reach."

"I'm not trying to make you happy. I'm trying to make you aware."

"Sometimes people are good and sometimes they're not. But most of the time, they're both."

"Each one of us is special."

"I hope the feeling of love will go on growing in your heart until it's big enough to hold the whole world."

"Listening is where love starts."

"In times of change, learners inherit the earth."

"I'm your neighbor."

"The world needs people who have made peace with themselves."

"Real strength has to do with helping others."

"Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and we can face them."

"The child is naturally curious. We don't have to push children to learn."

"I think everybody longs to be loved and longs to know that he or she is lovable."

"Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity to grow."

"I'm proud of you."

"You are the most important person in the world to you."

"How wonderful to be a new person today."

"Carry your history with you as you move forward."

"I do think that I have tried to be a neighbor to children."

"You might feel like you're all alone in the world, but there are people who care about you."

"I think we have to let our children know they're not responsible for fixing us."

"Every person in this neighborhood is unique and important."
