Truth

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 some 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.


-Mother Teresa
