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 some true enemies.
Succeed 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 by tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, it may never be enough,
But give the world the best you have any way.


You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It never was between you and them anyway.


~ Mother Teresa
