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.
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered...
Forgive them 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.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
"The Paradoxical Commandments" -- Kent Keith
