Anyway |
| People
are unreasonable, illogical, and
self-centered |
Love
them anyway |
| If you
do good, people will accuse you of
ulterior motives |
Do
good anyway |
| If you
are successful, you 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 & frank anyway |
| People
favor underdogs but only follow top dogs |
Pull
for underdogs anyway |
| What
you spend 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 & you’ll get
kicked in the teeth |
Give
the world the best you’ve got anyway |
