"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'll win some false friends and some enemies; succeed anyway. what you spend years building, someone may destroy in one night; build away. 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 anyway. you see, in final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway "
