“People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do 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 have anyway.” ~ Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, von Vienna, Austria
Do it for the Lord with right motives. They might not protect you when you want protection. Protect people anyway, cuz “love..always protects.”
Fight the good fight of faith really lookin’ out for the welfare of others.. instead of fighting in the flesh for say.. you.
You yourselves have been taught by God to love one another -- therefore show love towards family and towards enemies even. Might be the same ones?
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another. Be patient not demanding your own way. Be thoughtful, polite and very courteous. Be not all puffed up, self-seekin', rude, pushy, irritable, jealous, resentful nor envious -- love ain't at all like that. Never has been.
