feeling: Nostalgic

28 August 2008

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Okay I still can't sleep, I just saw this old post on Lilly's blog. It's a misattributed quote by Mother Teresa. It's really sweet. 

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
happines,
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 ayway
You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It is never between you and
them anyway.
Mother Teresa
