Do It Anyway
Sign In Mother Teresa's Office

People are unreasonable,
illogical, 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 win
false friends and true enemies,

SUCCEED ANYWAY


The good you do will
be forgotten tomorrow, 

DO GOOD ANYWAY


Honesty and frankness
make you vulnerable, 

BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY


What you spent years building
may be destroyed overnight,

BUILD ANYWAY


People really need help but
may attack you if you 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'VE GOT ANYWAY.


From a sign on the wall
of Shishu Bhavan, 
the Children's home in Calcutta

"Human rights are not a privilege 
conferred by government. They are 
every human being's entitlement 
by virtue of his humanity. The 
right to life does not depend, 
and must not be contingent, on 
the pleasure of anyone else, not 
even a parent or sovereign. ... 
You must weep that your own 
government, at present, seems 
blind to this truth."

"There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things we could use." Mother Teresa (1910-1997), A Gift for God, 1975. http://www.epa.gov/Region2/library/quotes.htm Whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God. - 1 Corinthians 10:31
