These are words to live by. I try to do that everyday but find
myself humbled by Mother Teresa's life and love of humanity.
People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and
some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere
anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy
overnight.
Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best
anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them
anyway.
