When you are successful you can win some false friends and true enemies. The good you do today will be forgotten by the world tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
Some people favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Assist an underdog anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Some people that really need help attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. When you give the world your best you may still get kicked in the teeth.
