This is a verse I like, its part simple, part inspiring style is admirable. The verses below reportedly were written on the wall of Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta, and are widely attributed to her. The original composition was by Kent Keith, but most of it is rewritten by mother Theresa, and frankly I find it more appealing. I do not agree with all of it, but it is the last two lines that makes it the winner it is..

People are often unreasonable, irrational, 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 unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
