From Calvin Miller…

People are unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will
accuse you of ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win
false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today
will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness
make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building
may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help, but
may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have
and you may get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world your best anyway.
