” 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.”
Quote from Fred Rogers
” As work grows out of play, an attitude toward work grows with it – an attitude that may persist all through our workaday life. That attitude can have a lot to do with how we accept challenges, how we can cope with failures, and whether we can find the inner fulfillment that makes working, in and of itself, worthwhile.”
Quote from Fred Rogers
“Peace means far more than the opposite of war!”
Quote from Fred Rogers
” Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered, as a matter of course, just one kind word to another person. There have been so many stories about the lack of courtesy, the impatience of today’s world, road rage and even restaurant rage. Sometimes, all it takes is one kind word to nourish another person. Think of the ripple effect that can be created when we nourish someone. One kind empathetic word has a wonderful way of turning into many.”
Quote from Fred Rogers
” The gifts we treasure most over the years are often small and simple. In easy times and in tough times, what seems to matter most is the way we show those nearest us that we’ve been listening to their needs, to their joys, and to their challenges.”
Quote from Fred Rogers.
“In every neighborhood, all across our country, there are good people insisting on a good start for the young, and doing something about it.”
Quote from Fred Rogers
I thought there couldn’t be a better quote from Fred today than this one. Here in Oregon OPB has like many others canceled the daily airing of Mister Rogers Neighborhood. I was introduced to a great site trying to stop this from happening. SaveMisterRogers.com gives you all the information on what has happened and what you can do to make a change. I have called and submitted a letter to OPB, and they have declined to make the change back. If enough people make the noise about putting it back on the air we can make a difference. I encourage all to participate.

“You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.”
Quote from Fred Rogers
“Imagining something may be the first step in making it happen, but it takes the real time and real efforts of real people to learn things, make things, turn thoughts into deeds or visions into inventions.”
Quote from Fred Rogers
“It’s true that we take a great deal of our own upbringing on into our adult lives and our lives as parents; but it’s true, too, that we can change some of the things that we would like to change. It can be hard, but it can be done.”
Quote from Fred Rogers
“The thing I remember best about successful people I’ve met all through the years is their obvious delight in what they’re doing… and it seems to have very little to do with worldly success. They just love what they’re doing, and they love it in front of others.”
Quote from Fred Rogers
