Fred Rogers Quotes on Love and more:
You are special. You’re special to me. There’s only one in this wonderful world.
In a way, you’ve already won in this world because you’re the only one who can be you.
As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has or ever will have something inside that is unique to all time. It’s our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression.
You can’t really love someone else unless you really love yourself first.
When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong with the fearful, the true mixed in with the façade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way.
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.

Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.

Fred Rogers Quotes on Love and life:
It’s the people we love the most who can make us feel the gladdest…and the maddest! Love and anger are such a puzzle!
Whatever we choose to imagine can be as private as we want it to be. Nobody knows what you’re thinking or feeling unless you share it.
Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.
Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.
Often, problems are knots with many strands, and looking at those strands can make a problem seem different.
When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting and less scary.
There are times when explanations, no matter how reasonable, just don’t seem to help.
Feeling good about ourselves is essential in our being able to love others.
Even though no human being is perfect, we always have the chance to bring what’s unique about us to life in a redeeming way.
Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.
About
FRED ROGERS
Fred Rogers was an American television personality, writer, producer, musician, and puppeteer. He was the host and creator of the preschool television series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
In 1968, Rogers created Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, which ran for 33 years. The program focused on children’s emotional and physical concerns, such as death, sibling rivalry, school enrollment, and divorce, and received critical acclaim. Rogers influenced many writers and producers of children’s television shows, including the likes of Josh Selig (creator of Wonder Pets), and Angela Santomero (co-creator of the children’s television show Blue’s Clues).
‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor?‘, a documentary about Rogers’ life released in 2018, grossed over $22 million and became the top-grossing biographical documentary ever produced. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a 2019 film starring Tom Hanks as Rogers, tells the story of Rogers and his television series.
Rogers received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002 and an Emmy award for Lifetime Achievement in 1997. He was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999. On September 21, 2018, Google dedicated a doodle in honour of the 51st anniversary of the premiere of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
