A Creed of Mother Theresa
People are often unreasonable,
People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
....
If you are kind, people may accuse
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
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
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 was never between
you and them anyway.
...
....
You see in the final analysis,
it is between you and God.
It was never between
you and them anyway.

Thanks for the reminder. I love this. I used it once in a sermon and had a flood of requests for a copy.
I have it on my refrigerator door and try to read it when I need its wonderful message. Hugs to you!

Hi Pauline, deep thoughts
I see you've been pondering
Alas, so hard to judge sometimes.
"Do good, and don't look at who" was my grandmother's favourite.
quasar, my husbands grandmother said in broken english "Look You self" such wonderful words to live by.
Thank you for caring!
hugs!
