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 honest, people may cheat on 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;

 

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 YOUR BEST ANYWAY.

 

for you see, in the end it is between

 

YOU AND GOD

 

it was never between you and them anyway.
