People are often unreasonable,
illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may
accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful
you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are
honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you
spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find
serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do
today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the
best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got
anyway. You see, in the end, it is between you and God; It was never between you
and them anyway.
"Madre Teresa "
