One who views thing as they are in reality, and not as they are said or thought to be, is truly wise, taught by God rather than by other persons
Thomas a KempisIt is better to have but little knowledge with humility and understanding, than great learning which might make you proud. For a person's merits are not to be estimated by having many visions, or by knowledge of the bible, or by being placed in a higher position; but by being grounded in true humility, and by seeking always, purely, and entirely, the honor of God.
Thomas a KempisDon't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.
