The Imitation of Christ[1] Thomas Á Kempis (1380-1471) “Do not be ashamed to be the servant of others for love of Jesus Christ, and to appear poor in this world…Do not boast of your possessions, if you have any, nor of the influence of your friends; but glory in God…Do not esteem yourself better than others, lest you appear worse in the eyes of God, who alone know the heart of man…If you have any good qualities, remember that others have more; and so remain humble. It does you no harm when you esteem others better than yourself, but it does you great harm when you esteem yourself above others. True peace dwells only in the heart of the humble: but the heart of the proud is ever full of pride and jealousy.”
