This is a wonderful standard to live by
and could go in a holiday greeting . . .
It is said that Mother Theresa had this on her wall:
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 some true enemies; Succeed anyway.If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.What you spend years building, someone could
destroy overnight; Build anyway.If you find serenity and happiness, they 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 the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It never was between you and them anyway.
