If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you, be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, some could destroy overnight; build anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
Give the world your best anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.
-- Mother Theresa
