I LOVE this quote, which is most often attributed to motivational speaker John Cassis: “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.”
I first heard the quote as the motto for Olympic figure skating champion Sarah Hughes, who learned it from her mother. It’s a concept that was important in my kids’ figure skating careers – and lives – as well. I always thought it was much more important that my kids grew up to be nice people than that they grew up to be “important” people. I feel very fortunate that many people have told me how nice my kids are. I truly believe that our kids will pick up what’s most important to us as parents.
Here are two different versions of word art using the quote:
