Quotes from 'Wonder' movie that will inspire us to remain kind

 

'Wonder' is based on R.J. Palacio's bestselling middle grade novel, which is about a brave young boy August Pullman(Auggie) with a rare craniofacial condition, or facial deformity and his first year at a mainstream school is one such work. 

Here are a few of my favorite dialogs from the movie:

1. When given the choice between being right or being kind choose kind.

2. Kinder than is necessary. Because it's not enough to be kind. One should be kinder than needed.

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

4. Sometimes I think my head is so big because it is so full of dreams.

5. It’s not enough to be friendly. You have to be a friend.

6. The best way to measure how much you've grown isn't by inches or the number of laps you can now run around the track, or even your grade point average--though those things are important, to be sure. It's what you've done with your time, how you've chosen to spend your days, and whom you've touched this year. That, to me, is the greatest measure of success.

7. We carry with us, as human beings, not just the capacity to be kind, but the very choice of kindness.

8. I really believe, and Daddy really believes, that there are more good people on this earth than bad people, and the good people watch out for each other and take care of each other.

9. Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right using of strength. He/she is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.

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

11. The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honor heroes after they've died. They're like the pyramids that the Egyptians built to honor the pharaohs. Only instead of being made of stone, they're made out of the memories people have of you.

12. A fresh start gives us the chance to reflect on the past, weigh the things we’ve done, and apply what we’ve learned from those things to the future. If we don’t examine the past, we don’t learn from it.

13. You don’t need your eyes to love, right? You just feel it inside you. That’s how it is in heaven. It’s just love, and no one forgets who they love.

14. Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. And if you really wanna see what people are, all you have to do..is look.
