To have been at the centre of things and to find yourself at the periphery, that is a lesson in humility.
To have had power and to have relinquished that power readily, that is a lesson in grace.
To have been wronged and to have learned to love the wrongdoer, that is a lesson in godliness.
Pete Anderson.

I have posted this Mother Teresa "quote" before but think it is worth re-posting here, 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.
