Such a good book. Reminds the reader why it's good to always be kind to people. 

“When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.”

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

“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."

“Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right using of strength.” 

“Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.”
