"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
— Mother Teresa
