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 may destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and
happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good that 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 all between you and GOD;
It was never between you
and them anyway.

Theresa of Calcutta
