Don'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.
Thomas a KempisTherefore, a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men.
Thomas a KempisLove is a great thing...which alone maketh every burden light.. Love is watchful, and while sleeping, still keeps watch; though fatigued, it is not weary; though pressed, it is not forced. Love is sincere, gentle, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, and manly. Love is humble and upright, not weak, not fickle, nor intent on vain things; sober chaste, steadfast, quiet, and guarded in all the senses.
Thomas a Kempis
