“People are often
unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest,
people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find
happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do
today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the
best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the
end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
