“If you have the choice of being right or being kind…..choose being kind“
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
This quote was from an excellent film I watched recently – Wonder (2017). I liked the quote so much I looked to find who had said it & discovered this guy. Until now, I had never heard of him.
The full quote is “Remind yourself that the greatest technique for bringing peace into your life is to always choose to be kind when you have a choice between being right or being kind”.
