No one is qualified to converse in public except those contented to do without such conversation.
Thomas a KempisDo not let your peace depend on what people say of you... True peace and joy is to be found in [Jesus] alone.
Thomas a KempisHe will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.
Thomas a Kempis
