the above quote sounds an awful lot like words I've seen attributed to
Mother Teresa:

"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Love them
anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Do
good anyway. If you are successful you will win false friends and true
enemies; Succeed anyway. The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow;
Do
good anyway.  What you spent years building may be destroyed
overnight;
Build anyway."
