Fred Rogers, famous for donning his sweater on his award-winning show, "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" airing nationally for 35 years, died recently but left a legacy of love. At the end of every show, Fred Rogers changed back into his real-life clothes, replacing his shoes and sweater.
"People wear all sorts of things," he liked to say. "But the best part is the part that's on the inside. That's what's really you--the person inside."More quotes of insight from everyone's neighbor, Mr. Rogers:
"I feel the greatest gift we can give to anybody is the gift of our honest self."
"I have really never considered myself a TV star.
I always thought I was a neighbor who just came in for a visit."
"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."~ Fred McFeely Rogers (1928-2003)
