romantic vs. sentimental

"I'm not sentimental--I'm as romantic as you are. The idea, you know,

is that the sentimental person thinks things will last--the romantic 

person has a desperate confidence that they won't."

-F. Scott Fitzgerald

anyway..

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.

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 may 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.

-Mother Theresa (or Kent Keith)
