"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, some will accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you succeed, you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The kindness you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Be kind anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Risk honesty anyway. What takes years to build may be destroyed overnight. Build well anyway. They may see the good you do as self-serving. Continue to do good. They may see your generosity as grandstanding. Continue to be generous. They may see your warm and caring nature as weakness. Continue to be warm & caring. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway." Robert Leroe
