“Solitude is different from loneliness, and it doesn't have to be a lonely kind of thing.”
― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember

“Often out of periods of losing come the greatest strivings toward a new winning streak.”
― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember

“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, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember

“What's been important in my understanding of myself and others is the fact that each one of us is so much more than any one thing. A sick child is much more than his or her sickness.
A person with a disability is much, much more than a handicap. A pediatrician is more than a medical doctor. You're MUCH more than your job description or your age or your income or your output.”
