MisteRogers Quotes

Jay O'Callahan: It was then they all saw the 3 year-old girl up on the hill. And the girl ran all the way down and came over to the bubble. Oh, what a beautiful bubble. Her father said, Oh no, my daughter, its not a bubble, its trouble. Oh no, father, its just a beautiful bubble. It's not a bubble, its trouble. The king says so. Father, its just a bubble. If you treat it like a bubble, it acts like a bubble. Watch, and the little girl reached out so slowly and finally, she pinched the bubble and it popped. See? Treat it like a bubble and it acts like a bubble. And that's the story of the bubble that really wasn't trouble, it was only a bubble. Ha!

Lady Aberlin: I am Lady Aberlin, that's correct. But I am not a bass violin player. [Begins playing the bass badly]
King Friday XIII: But that is a fine instrument that I have provided for you. It was made by excellent instrument makers.
Lady Aberlin: But Uncle Friday, just because a person has a fine instrument doesn't mean that person can play it well.
King Friday XIII: It's a good beginning, however.
