Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.

Give the world your best anyway.[Mother Teresa] Quote:I do not think that the real reason why people accept religion is anything to do with argumentation. They accept religion on emotional grounds.
