worth reading

On occasion when I read something the power of it will strike me with such force that tears come to my eyes. And it's not that it has made me sad - simply that the truth or beauty of it is momentarily overwhelming.

My cousin just sent me an e-mail with this quotation, and it's so good I had to share it...
People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
- Mother Teresa
