Fred Rogers

“Love is at the root of everything. All learning, all parenting, all relationships. Love, or the lack of it.”

“Always look for the helpers. There's always someone who is trying to help.”

“Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space.”

“It's our insides that make us who we are, that allow us to dream and wonder and feel for others.”

“Play is really the work of childhood.”

“Deep and simple are far, far more important than shallow and complicated and fancy.”

“We just don't get to be competent human beings without a lot of different investments from others.”

“Feelings are mentionable and manageable.”

“It's not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life which ultimately nourish our souls.”

“Everybody longs to be loved, and longs to know that he or she is lovable.”
