People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Yes, I think it's true. Anyway, whatever you do to impress people will be ignored, sneered at, or forgotten. What you do for God is the only thing that will last.

remarkable! It receives to the middle of the remember -- motivation. you may do a good deed and function a sinful motivation which negates the goodness of the deed in God's eyes. Why won't be able to love be cooking on your spouse and children, cleansing up after someone, choosing up trash, giving a bum funds that they are going to likely use for something undesirable, and so on.? in case you do those with love they're good, no longer the action itself. thanks for sharing the quote!!

There are a few things she said that I would disagree with.
This is definitely not one of them.
I wish more people could be like that.
