remind us that we are on probation, and ought not to hope in any worldly
thing. It is good for us sometimes to suffer contradiction, to be misjudged
by men even though we do well and mean well. These things help us to be
humble and shield us from vainglory. When to all outward appearance men
give us no credit, when they do not think well of us, then we are more
inclined to seek God Who sees our hearts. Therefore, a man ought to root
himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men."
--Thomas of Kempis (1380-1471), The Imitation of Christ
