We All Have Different Gifts, So We

You Know, You Don't Have To Look Like Everybody Else To Be Acceptable And To Feel Acceptable.

Most Of Us, I Believe, Admire Strength. It's Something We Tend To Respect In Others, Desire For Ourselves, And Wish For Our Children. Sometimes, Though, I Wonder If We Confuse Strength With Other Words—like 'aggression' And Even 'violence'. Real Strength Is Neither Male Nor Female; But It Is, Quite Simply, One Of The Finest Characteristics That A Human Being Can Possess.

I Think Everybody Longs To Be Loved And Longs To Know That He Or She Is Lovable And, Consequently, The Greatest Thing That We Can Do Is To Help Somebody Know That They Are Loved And Capable Of Loving.

We All Have Only One Life To Live On Earth, And Through Television We Have The Choice Of Encouraging Others To Demean This Life Or To Cherish It In Creative, Imaginative Ways.

This Is What I Give. I Give An Expression Of Care Every Day To Each Child, To Help Him Realize That He Is Unique. I End Each Program By Saying, 'you've Made This Day A Special Day By Just Your Being You. There's No Person In The Whole World Like You. And I Like You Just The Way You Are.' And I Feel That If We In Public Television Can Only Make It Clear That Feelings Are Mentionable And Manageable, We Will Have Done A Great Service.
