Be aware if your kind you'll be accused of having hidden motives, but be kind.

Be aware if your kind you'll be accused of having hidden motives, but be kind.

If your honourable and honest they will deceive you, but stay honourable and honest.
They will forget your favours, but be upright. And grant your best to others, even if its little.

At the end you'll see what remains is between you and your God, not between you and other people...
