"Pearls of wisdom on the chain of life"

Friday, July 15, 2005

"People are often unreasonable, self centered; forgive them anyway.
If you're kind they may accuse you of selfish motives; be kind anyway.
If you're successful you'll win false friends & true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you're honest they may cheat you; be honest anyway.
What you spend years building they may destroy overnight; build anyway.
If you find happiness they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today they may forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see in the end it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway"
