Where there is pain or sorrow in our children’s lives, as there is bound to be, there is often no way we can make it go away.

The kingdom of God is for the broken-hearted.
Love and trust, in the space between what’s said and what’s heard in our life, can make all the difference in the world.
I really think that everybody, every day, should be able to feel some success.
You’ve made this day a special day, by just your being you. There’s no person in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are.
When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive.
Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.
Fame is a four-letter word; and like ‘tape’ or ‘zoom’ or ‘face’ or ‘pain’ or ‘life’ or ‘love,’ what ultimately matters is what we do with it.
‘Sometimes People Are Good’ and ‘Good People Sometimes Do Bad Things’ are songs I sing to let children know that everyone does things that are naughty once in a while but that doing something bad doesn’t make you a bad person.
You make each day a special day. You know how, by just your being you. There’s only one person in this whole world like you. And people can like you exactly as you are.
Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.
Our children will learn a lot about expressing their feelings by watching how we express ours. And we need to let them know that the violent expressions of anger that they see around them are not the way it has to be.
Deep within each of us is a spark of the divine just waiting to be used to light up a dark place. The only thing is — we have the free choice of using it or not. That’s part of the mysterious truth of who we human beings are
Hi, television neighbor. I'm glad we're together again.
All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors—in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver.
It’s tempting to think ‘a little’ isn’t significant and that only ‘a lot’ matters. But most things that are important in life start very small and change very slowly, and they don’t come with fanfare and bright lights.
The best way to learn something well is to ask somebody to help you with it. But it takes hours and hours of practice to be really good at it. In fact, it takes a lot of practice to be good at almost everything. But it’s worth it.
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.
People have said, ‘Don’t cry’ to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is ’I’m too uncomfortable when you show your feelings: Don’t cry.’ I’d rather have them say, ‘Go ahead and cry. I’m here to be with you.’
The way you would draw a tree is different from the way anyone else would draw a tree - and that's the way it's supposed to be!
How many times have you noticed that it’s the little quiet moments in the midst of life that seem to give the rest extra-special meaning?
Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero.
Mutual caring relationships require kindness and patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the other’s achievements, confidence in oneself, and the ability to give without undue thought of gain.
When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes wore capes, flew through the air, or picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of attention. But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me.
Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.

You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.
