If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives - be kind anyways.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies - be successful anyways.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight - build anyways.
If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous - be happy anyways.
The good you do today people will often forget tomorrow - do good anyways.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough - give the world your best anyways.
Because in the final analysis - it's only between you and God and no one else anyways.
