The wings of angels are often found on the backs of the least likely people.

The quote suggests that extraordinary kindness, moral courage, or “saving” help often comes from unexpected quarters. By invoking “wings of angels,” it frames everyday compassion as something nearly sacred, while “least likely people” challenges snap judgments based on appearance, status, reputation, or past mistakes. The line encourages humility in evaluating others and attentiveness to quiet forms of goodness—those who may not advertise virtue, yet show up when it matters. It also implies a democratic spirituality: grace is not confined to the visibly pious or socially approved, but can be carried by ordinary or even marginalized individuals.
