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 true enemies:
  Succeed anyway.
  
  If you are honest and frank, they may cheat you: Be Forthright anyway.
  
  What you spend years building, they may destroy overnight: Build anyway.
  
  If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous and scornful: Be
  Joyous anyway.
  
  The good you do today, they often will forget tomorrow: Do Good anyway.
  
  Give the world the best you have, and it will never be enough: Give the
  world the best you've got anyway.
  
  You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God: It was never
  between you and them anyway.
