Anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered - Forgive t hem 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 worl d the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God - It never was between you and them anyway.
