Mother Teresa of Calcutta
was a well-known humanitarian
and advocate for the poor.
Mother Teresa said:
People are often
unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are honest,
people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness,
people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today
may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have
and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
For you see,
in the end,
it is between you and God.
It was never
between you and them
anyway.
