People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; 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 else could destroy overnight; build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world your best anyway.

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