Where would any of us be without teachers-without people who had passion for their art or their science or their craft and they loved it right in front of us? What would any of us have done without teachers passing on to us what they knew was essential about life? -Fred Rogers

I have loved this quote from the very first time I heard it on a PBS special about Robert Kennedy. Every year I understand it in a different way, it is real, terrible, beautiful and true.
He who learns must suffer
And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget
Falls drop by drop upon the heart,
And in our own despite, against our will,
Comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.Aeschylus
The toughest thing is to love somebody who has done something mean to you — especially when that somebody is yourself. Look inside yourself and find that loving part of you. Take good care of that part because it helps you love your neighbor.-Fred Rogers
“It’s not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life that ultimately nourish our souls. It’s knowing that we can be trusted, that we never have to fear the truth, that the bedrock of our very being is firm.” -Fred Rogers
