quote

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 will try to cheat you: 

be honest anyway.

what you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight: 

build anyway. 

if you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous of you: 

be happy anyway.

the good you do today, will often be forgotten by tomorrow: 

do good anyway. 

give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: 

give your best anyway. 

you see, 

in the final analysis, 

it is always between you and God. 

it was never between you and them anyway.
