What do you think success is?” asked the boy

“To love,” said the mole

Most of the old moles I know wish they had listened less to their fears and more to their dreams.”

One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things”

So much beauty we need to look after

Don’t measure how valuable you are by the way you are treated

Always remember you matter, you’re important and you are loved, and you bring to this world things no one else can

Sometimes all you hear about is the hate, but there is more love in this world than you could possibly imagine.”

“Do you have a favourite saying?” asked the boy. “yes” said the mole “What is it?” “If at first you don’t succeed, have some cake.” “I see, does it work?” “Every time.”

Most of the old moles I know wish they had listened less to their fears and more to their dreams.”

“We often wait for kindness . . . but being kind to yourself can start now,” said the mole.
