Ten truths from Wicked:

1. We are never as good or as bad as we seem.
2. There is always more to the story than meets the eyes.
3. Don't make yourself or anyone else a scapegoat.
4. Small kindnesses add up.
5. Believe in something- especially one another.
6. Believe in something enough to give all you have for it.
7. Odd birds often times make the best friends.
8. Boys may come and go, but true friends are forever.
9. Love is the only thing that really matters in the end.
10. Reputation is who others think you are. Character is who you really are.
