Wonder

by R.J. Palacio

“Everyone born of God overcometh the world.”

WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN BEING RIGHT OR BEING KIND, CHOOSE KIND.

Funny how sometimes you worry a lot about something and it turns out to be nothing.

I think there should be a rule that everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their lives.

You’re gonna reach the sky Fly … Beautiful child —Eurythmics, “Beautiful Child”

Be kind to nature and it will be kind to you.

It’s what you’ve done with your time, how you’ve chosen to spend your days, and whom you have touched this year. That, to me, is the greatest measure of success.

‘Shall we make a new rule of life … always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?’

If every single person in this room made it a rule that wherever you are, whenever you can, you will try to act a little kinder than is necessary—the world really would be a better place. And if you do this, if you act just a little kinder than is necessary, someone else, somewhere, someday, may recognize in you, in every single one of you, the face of God.”

“Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness.
