Quote by R.J. Palacio

“TUS ACTOS SON TUS MONUMENTOS. Este precepto significa que se nos debería recordar por las cosas que hacemos. Las cosas que hacemos son las cosas más importantes de todas. Son más importantes que lo que decimos o que nuestro aspecto. Las cosas que hacemos duran más que nuestras vidas. Las cosas que hacemos son como los monumentos que la gente construye para honrar a los héroes cuando ya han muerto. Son como las pirámides que construyeron los egipcios para honrar a los faraones. Pero en lugar de estar hechas de piedra, las cosass que hacemos están hechas de los recuerdos que la gente tiene de ti. Por eso tus actos son como tus monumentos. Están construidos con recuerdos y no con piedra.”

“Forgiveness is the subjective and fertile ground the acorn falls upon when gifted to ourselves and others.”

“One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?” The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”
