Mr. Rogers (in full Fred McFeely Rogers), was an American television host, producer, writer and minister, best known for his educational children’s show called Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

Mister Rogers’ half-hour program was aimed initially at preschool ages 2 to 5, but after its debut, people of all ages would watch it since it brought so much joy to their homes.

Fred Rogers was just as nice, friendly and empathetic in real life, as he appears onscreen. He was an activist and an advocate for children from all backgrounds and during his show he managed to equip them with the tools they needed to navigate life’s most difficult moments.

The much-loved host understood that kids need to learn how to live in the real world, so he taught them everything he could about coping with emotions such as fear, anger and shame.

*If you’re curious to learn more about Mr. Rogers’ life, you should know that a beautifully written and wonderfully directed motion picture, starring Tom Hanks, was just released. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood has already conquered the hearts of many.

Here are 25 Mr. Rogers quotes that are words of wisdom for all ages:







Love and success, always in that order. It’s that simple AND that difficult.




Real strength has to do with helping others.






There are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.
