"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."
