April 19, 2012: Quotes of Fred Rogers: presented by Sky


Sky sent me his notes for his presentation:  Lots of treasures here:
Sky says: Fred Rogers is one of my heroes, and some of you requested some of the quotes I selected for my talk last week, so I have included some about him and by him.
If you want to get a feel for the man, you might want to read this delightfully written article: “Fred Rogers, man of steel and prayer.”  In this 1998 Esquire profile of Mister Rogers by Tom Junodhttp://www.thedqtimes.com/pages/castpages/other/fredrogerscanyousayheropg8.htm
If you wish a book about him, also very well written by a friend of his: Amy Hollingsworth. She is the author of The Simple Faith of Mister Rogers: Spiritual Insights from the World's Most Beloved Neighbor (2005), based on her nine-year friendship with Fred.
Fred Rogers had a favorite quote:
You can only see clearly with the heart…What is essential is invisible to the eye.” – Antoine de Saint ExupĂ©ry.
