Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered, love them anyways. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives, do good anyways. If you are successful you win false friends and true enemies, do good anyways. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable, be honest and frank anyways. What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight, build anyways. People really need help but may attack you if you help them, help people anyways. Give the world the best you have and you'll get a kick in the teeth. give the world the best you've got anyways.
