I found this in Paul Chappell's book, GUIDED BY GRACE ... servant leadership for the local church, from pages 74 and 75. He lists the author as unknown.
1. People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered. Love and trust them anyway.
2. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
3. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway
4. The service you render today will be forgotten tomorrow. Serve people anyway.
5. Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
6. The biggest men with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men with the smallest ideas. Think big anyway.
7. People pretend to love the "little people" but sell their souls to the "big" people. Fight for the "little people" anyway.
8. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
9. People really need help but may attack you if you do help. Help people anyway.
10. Give the world the best you have, and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.
Sometimes people are mean and hurtful. Love them anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will gain some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.
What you could spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some will be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.
If you give the world the best you have, it may not be enough.
Give your best anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it was never between you and them;
It is between you and God.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
