ANYWAY

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered,
Love Them Anyway

If you are good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives,
Do Good Anyway

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies,
Succeed Anyway

The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow,
Do Good Anyway

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable,
Be Honest and Frank Anyway

What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight,
Build Anyway

People really need help but may attack you if you help them,
Help People Anyway

Give the world the best you have and
you’ll get kicked in the teeth,
Give The World The Best You’ve Got Anyway.
