I believe it's a fact of life that what we have is less important than what we make out of what we have. the same holds true for families: it's not how many people there are in a family that counts, but rather the feelings among the people who are there.

I Believe It's A Fact Of Life

Fred Rogers
I believe it's a fact of life that what we have is less important than what we make out of what we have. the same holds true for families: it's not how many people there are in a family that counts, but rather the feelings among the people who are there.

More From Fred Rogers

My feelings are not god. god is god. my feelings do not define truth. god’s word defines truth. my feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. and sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. when that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - i try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, i plead with god: purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.
Echoes Feelings Perception
What makes a free thinker is not his beliefs, but the way in which he holds them. if he holds them because his elders told him they were true when he was young, or if he holds them because if he did not he would be unhappy, his thought is not free; but if he holds them because, after careful thought, he finds a balance in their favor, then his thought is free, however odd his conclusions may seem.
Balance Atheism Unhappy
I always say people would rather be nice than right. i like to be nice too, but come on. people frequently ask me, what is my definition of politically correct. my answer is always the same: the elevation of sensitivity over truth. people would rather be nice than right, rather be sensitive than true. well, being nice and sensitive are important, but they're not more important than being right; they're not more important than the truth.
Nice People Important
Oh no, that’s for you. presents make people happy. the simi wants you to be happy. (simi) thank you, simi. (gallagher) no need to thank me. see, that’s what families do. they take care of each other. (simi) i no longer have a family. i had to give them up. (gallagher) of course you have a family. everyone has family. i’m your family. akri your family. even that smelly old goddess is your family. she’s that creepy old aunt who comes around but nobody likes her so they make fun of her when she’s gone. (simi)

The lower the family income, the higher the probability that the mother must work. today, 1 out of 5 of these working mothers has children under 3. two out of 5 have children of school age. among the remainder, about 50 percent have husbands who earn less than $5,000 a year-many of them much less. i believe they bear the heaviest burden of any group in our nation. where the mother is the sole support of the family, she often must face the hard choice of either accepting public assistance or taking a position at a pay rate which averages less than two-thirds of the pay rate for men.

How you start is important, very important, but in the end it is how you finish that counts. it is easier to be a self-starter than a self-finisher. the victor in the race is not the one who dashes off swiftest but the one who leads at the finish. in the race for success, speed is less important than stamina. the sticker outlasts the sprinter in life's race. in america we breed many hares but not so many tortoises.

The fatigue was there, but some people understood that putting it aside was the single most important factor in succeeding.
Perseverance Determination People
It was a harder day's journey than yesterday's, for there were long and weary hills to climb; and in journeys, as in life, it is a great deal easier to go down hill than up. however, they kept on, with unabated perseverance, and the hill has not yet lifted its face to heaven that perseverance will not gain the summit of at last.
