- Mr. Rogers: Of course, circuses are different in different neighborhoods, but they all have adults who want to entertain children and their families. If the circus is too long for you, or if there's something you don't like in it, you can ask your parents to take you out for a while, and maybe come back if you want later. You see, people in the circus want people to have a good time.
- Mr. Rogers: Do you ever wish that you could fly up in the air? There have been times I wished I could. But that's not what human beings grow up to do, except in airplanes. We grow up to stand and walk on our own feet, and learn to be able to love other people, and that's much better than flying any day.
- Mr. Rogers: [plays some notes on the piano] Each key plays a different tone. Each white key plays a different tone, each black key plays a different tone, every one of them is a different tone. If all the keys and all the notes were the same, this is how the "Good Feeling" song would sound.
- [sings as he plays only a G sharp tone on the piano]
- Mr. Rogers: And that wouldn't be such a good feeling, would it. It's great that there are all different notes, and different animals, and different people in the world. But what's even greater is that we can all learn to play together and care for each other. All we have to do is want to, and wanting to is a really good feeling.
