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 will win some false
friends and 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 could 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 the best you have,
and it may 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.
