Mother Teresa's Final Analysis

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered; forgive them anyway.


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.


If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; be honest and sincere anyway.


What you spend years creating, others may destroy overnight; create anyway.


If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; be happy anyway.


The good you do today will often be forgotten; do good anyway.


Give the best you have, and it may never be enough; give your best anyway.


In the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.
