” I’m proud of you for the times you came in second, or third, or fourth, but what you did was the best you had ever done.”

Quote Mr Fred Rogers

“The toughest thing is to love somebody who has done something mean to you — especially when that somebody is yourself.

Look inside yourself and find that loving part of you. Take good care of that part because it helps you love your neighbor.”

Quote by Mr. Fred Rogers

“Beside my chair is a saying in French.  It inspires me every day.  It’s a sentence from Saint-Exupery‘s The Little Prince,and it reads, ” L’essential est invisible pour les yeux.” (What is essential is invisible to your eyes.)  The closer we get to know the truth of that sentence, the closer I feel we get to wisdom.

That which has real value in life in any millennium is very simple.  Very deep and very simple!  It happens inside of us-in the “essential invisible” part of us, and that is what allows everyone to be a potential neighbor.”

Quote by Mr. Fred Rogers

“There’s an old Italian proverb : Qui va piano, va sano, va lentano. That means: “The person who goes quietly, goes with health and goes far.”  Hurrying up and using a lot of shortcuts doesn’t get us very far at all.

Quote by Mr. 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. ”

Quote by Mr Fred Rogers

“I find out more and more every day how important it is for people to share their memories.”

Quote by Mr Rogers

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.”

- Quote by Mr. Fred Rogers

” There are times all during life when we need the inner resources to keep ourselves busy and productive all by ourselves.”
