Mother Theresa |
|
| 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 world 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. (**or, substitute 'it is between you and yourself and those closest to you' in place of 'it is between you and God', if you are athiest like myself) |
