Quotes 

• Mr. Rogers : Now I'm all set with the pot and the seed, and I'm all set to do some potting. That sounds a little like "potty", doesn't it? Well, this is a little pot, and I'm going to put some earth in it to plant this seed. So, it's called potting.

• Mr. Rogers : [waters his bean seed]  Now underneath this soil, something's happening. Something's beginning to grow and change, even if we can't see it here.

• King Friday XIII : Do you have further news concerning the Big thing?

  Charles R. Aber : Yes, sir. I do.

  King Friday XIII : Uh-huh, you may proceed.

  Charles R. Aber : The upper two quadrants seem to be superseding the lower two in a circular configuration at a rate of 3 for the former to every 2.7 for the latter, giving it the Big Thing a constant velocity of nearly 1.096.

  King Friday XIII : At that rate, if it should remain on its present course, it should arrive here in this neighborhood in 2-8/9.

  Charles R. Aber : Wow! That's exactly correct, King Friday.

  King Friday XIII : Yes.

  Mayor Maggie : So what do you think you'll do about it?

  King Friday XIII : I'm formulating a plan.

• Mr. Rogers : Growing is learning to take better and better care of yourself, and everyone, and everything around you. And as you grow that way, it can help to give you such a good feeling about yourself and the people who help you to grow.
