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 honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest anyway.

What you spend years building, someone may try to destroy overnight; build anyway.

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

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.

Give the world your best, 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.
