A Quote by Mother Teresa on wisdom, god, life, and accomplishments

People are 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 some true enemies;

be successful anyway.

 

What you spend years

building, someone could

destroy overnight;

build anyway.

 

If you find serenity and

happiness, others may be

jealous; be happy anyway.

 

The good you do today,

people will often forget

tomorrow; do good anyway.

 

Give the world the best

you have, and it may never

be enough; give the world

your best anyway.

 

In the final analysis, it is

between you and God.

It was never between you

and them anyway.

That is so true. I read this and had to give it a great comment. If only we had more people in the world that thought like that it would be a better place.
