The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith
People are illogical, unreasonable, 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 today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good
anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and
frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot
down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big
anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few
underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do 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 have anyway.

"In the final analysis, it is
between you and God. It was never between you and them
anyway."-Mother Teresa
The age of warrior kings and of
warrior presidents has passed. The nuclear age calls for a different kind of
leadership....a leadership of intellect, judgment, tolerance and rationality, a
leadership committed to human values, to world peace, and to the improvement of
the human condition. The attributes upon which we must draw are the human
attributes of compassion and common sense, of intellect and creative
imagination, and of empathy and understanding between cultures." -
William Fulbright
"Any nation that year after year
continues to raise the Defense budget while cutting social programs to the
neediest is a nation approaching spiritual death." - Rev. MLK
