"People are often self-centered and unreasonable.  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.

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 never was between you and them anyway."*

Mother Teresa
