Famous quotes containing the word rogers:
“Parenting forces us to get to know ourselves better than we ever might have imagined we could—and in many new ways. . . . We’ll discover talents we never dreamed we had and fervently wish for others at moments we feel we desperately need them. As time goes on, we’ll probably discover that we have more to give and can give more than we ever imagined. But we’ll also find that there are limits to our giving, and that may be hard for us to accept.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
