it is because we have forgotten
that we belong to each other."

Do It Anyway
Sign In Mother Teresa's Office
People are unreasonable,
illogical, and self-centered,
LOVE THEM ANYWAY
If you do good, people will
accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives,
DO GOOD ANYWAY
If you are successful, you win
false friends and true enemies,
SUCCEED ANYWAY
The good you do will
be forgotten tomorrow,
DO GOOD ANYWAY
Honesty and frankness
make you vulnerable,
BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY
What you spent 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 and you'll get kicked
in the teeth,
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY.
From a sign on the wall
of Shishu Bhavan,
the Children's home in Calcutta
"Human rights are not a privilege
conferred by government. They are
every human being's entitlement
by virtue of his humanity. The
right to life does not depend,
and must not be contingent, on
the pleasure of anyone else, not
even a parent or sovereign. ...
You must weep that your own
government, at present, seems
blind to this truth."
-- Mother Teresa

"There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well.
They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste.
When I see people throwing away things we could use."
Mother Teresa (1910-1997), A Gift for God, 1975.
