People.......

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centred;

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.

-Mother Theresa

Baseball was my whole life and I loved it. When my knees finally went and I realized I had to get out of the game, I thought it was the end of the world. But I began to discover it really wasn't the end of the world at all; it was just the end of 'a' world. There's a lot of worlds out there, and you kinda gotta take what you're offered and make the best of it.

-Mickey Mantle

While you still have the hanky out:

I want to grow old without facelifts...I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know yourself.
