Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer

Heroes:

People are often unreasonable,
irrational, and self-centered;
forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse
you of selfish, ulterior motives;
be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some
unfaithful friends and some genuine
enemies;
succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere
people may deceive you;
be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating
others could destroy overnight;
create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
some may be jealous;
be happy anyway.

The good you do today
will often be forgotten,
do good anyway.

Give the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
give you best anyway.

In the final analysis,
it's between you and God;
it was never between you and them
anyway.

-MOTHER TERESA
