If you help people, and they hurt you, sustain them anyway.
If you embrace people, and they shun you, cherish them anyway.
If you console people, and they hate you, respect them anyway.

If you trust people, and they betray you, appreciate them anyway.
If you teach people, and they ignore you, enlighten them anyway.

If you forgive people, and they offend you, shelter them anyway.
If you defend people, and they attack you, uphold them anyway.
If you raise people, and they lower you, inspire them anyway.
If you draw people, and they repel you, encourage them anyway.”
Matshona Dhliwayo
