Mother Theresa Quote
and is engraved on the wall of her
home for children in Calcutta.
------------
People are often unreasonable, illogical,
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
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, some
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.
Now, I don't follow normal religious beliefs. I have my own
definition of God probably not quite the same version the the good
Mother followed. Mother Theresa was as kick ass as they come. The woman
was truly incredible. I will happily take any words of wisdom she may
have wanted to put out there into the world.
I have been feeling particularly surly lately. Really on the war
path. Ready defend anyone who may want some defending because really I
was just in it for a good fight. Perhaps this will help soothe my
troubled soul. |
