I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, 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 false friends and some true enemies;  

Succeed anyway.   

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;  

Be honest and frank anyway.   

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;  

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;  

Be happy anyway.   

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;  

Do good anyway.   

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;  

Give the world the best you've got anyway.   

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;  

It was never between you and them anyway.

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.

~Mother Teresa
