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.

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 best you’ve got anyway.

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

Mother Teresa
