I like you just the way you are. - Fred Rogers

I'm proud of you for the times you came in second, or third, or fourth, but what you did was the best you have ever done

In fact, from the time you were very little, you've had people who have smiled you into smiling, people who have talked you into talking, sung you into singing, loved you into loving.

We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say, “It’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.” Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.
