"In the Final Analysis"

Sister Theresa of Culcutta

People can be unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

Some people make it impossible for anyone to love them or to care about them;

Love them and care about them anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are pursuing a dream, people might trample upon you and squash that which you have already accomplished;

Pursue your dream anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may cheat you and seek advantage over you;

Be honest anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives and even treat you as if you were an idiot;

Be kind anyway.

The good you do today is very likely to be forgotten by people tomorrow;

Do good things anyway.

Because, in the final analysis, it is all between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
