Robert Fulghum quotes about
empowering fairy-tale tales
To insist on one's place in the scheme of things and to live up to that place.To empower others in their reaching for some place in the scheme of things.To do these things is to make fairy tales come true.
taken heart exercise
The older I get, the more I realize the importance of exercising the various dimensions of my body, soul, mind, and heart. Taken together, these aspects give me a sense of wholeness. I want to be a whole human being rather than one who limps on one leg because I don't know how to use all of my parts. Intellectual, emotional, and physical activity are not separate entities. Rather, they are dimensions of the same human being.
names people costumes
All of these are names given me by other people, but not names I would have given myself. My name is not mine, it's theirs. It's a series of costumes put on my life by other people.
wonder miraculous cease
But since everything and anything are always possible, the miraculous is always nearby, and wonders shall never, ever cease.
showing-up firsts remember
Remember, most of us got something for nothing the first time just by showing up here at birth. Now we have to qualify.
tired idaho people
I get tired of hearing it's a crummy world and that people are no damned good. What kind of talk is that? I know a place in Payette, Idaho, where a cook and a waitress and a manager put everything they've got into laying a chicken-fried steak on you.
imagination important looks
Imagination is more important than information. Einstein said that, and he should know. And they come. And they look. And we push. And they fly. We to stay and die on our beds. They to go and die howsoever, yet inspiring those who come after them to find their own edge. And fly.
hope laughter grief
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
our-love world-upside-down turns
to understand our love they'd have to turn the world upside down
imagination people secret
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A Beauty Bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one... And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.
ants chicago feels
You feel like an ant contemplating Chicago.
humanity cages bars
To be human is to keep rattling the bars of the cage of existence, hollering, 'What's it for?'
distinction made clear
I've always made a clear distinction between making a life and making a living.
