People are often unreasonable, Illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse You of selfish motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, You will win some false friends And some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

On the seashore of endless worlds The children meet with shouts and dances. They build their houses with sand, And they play with empty shells. With withered leaves they weave Their boats and smilingly float them On the vast deep. Children have their play on the Seashore of worlds. They know not how to swim, They know not how to cast nets. Pearl-fishers dive for pearls, Merchants sail in their ships, While children gather pebbles And scatter them again.
