Attributed to Mother Teresa
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 ill win some false friends and true enemies:
succeed anyway.
What you spend years building, they may destroy overnight: build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, theymay be jealous and scorn: be joyous
anyway.
The good you do today, they often will forget tomorrow: do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it will 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.
