Do It Anyway by Mother Theresa
People are often unreasonable, irrational 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 unfaithful friends, some genuine enemies.
SUCCEED ANYWAY.
If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you.
BE HONEST AND SINCERE ANYWAY.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
CREATE ANYWAY.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
BE HAPPY ANYWAY.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
DO GOOD ANYWAY.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
GIVE YOUR BEST ANYWAY.
In the final analysis, is is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
- Mother Theresa

"We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved."

"Intense love does not measure... it just gives."
"To be true, love has hurt... Jesus said, ‘Love one another as I have loved you.' He loved until it hurt."
"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
