Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem

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 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.

> 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 world the best you've got anyway.
>
> You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
> It was never between you and them anyway.
