It's between you and God


People are often irreasonable,
illogical and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish,
unterior 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 on you.

Be honest and frank anyway.


What you send years building,
someone could destroy overnight.

Build anyway.


If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.


If you are successful you will win some
false friends and some true enemies.

Succeed 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's between you and God
It was never between you and them anyway.
