• People are often unreasonable and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.
• If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.
• If you are honest, people may cheat you.  Be honest anyway.
• If you find happiness, people may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.
• The good you do today may be forgotten 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 Him. 
• It was never between you and them anyway.
