Do It Anyway

Today we have a collaboration between two of my favourite theologians
Mother Teresa
and
Martina McBride
enjoy

"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." -- Mother Teresa [Agnes Gonxha Beiaxhiu] (1910-1997) Humanitarian, Nobel Peace Prize 1979


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 [Agnes Gonxha Beiaxhiu] (1910-1997)

"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. http://www.epa.gov/Region2/library/quotes.htm

Whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God. - 1 Corinthians 10:31

Go and do likewise

ANYWAY
