“It doesn’t matter if you’re big or small,
What’s in our hearts is the measure of us all.“

– J.W. Noble

J.W. Noble is the author of the ‘Fergus Ferry’ stories. He wrote Fergus the Ferry while traveling to work on the ferry. His son loved the story and telling Fergus stories became something they did while going for a ferry ride together at the weekends.

Relating the quote to the story

It is not the size of a person that matters. What really matters is how big a heart you have, how kind, brave and helpful you can be. Boris is bigger than Fergus, but that doesn’t make him braver or kinder.
