"It's You I Like" A Quote About Greatness

In a world, that often worships wealth, beauty, prestige and power, I'm reminded of a simple quote that speaks to me of true greatness!

"When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed."

— Fred Rogers

Greatness isn't about wealth, beauty, prestige, and power. It is about kindness, care, respect, integrity, and decency!

And, speaking of great men, Fred Rogers was certainly one of them!
