Read entire article »Boast not thyself in thy riches if thou hast them, nor in thy friends if they be powerful, but in God, who giveth all things, and in addition to all things desireth to give even Himself. Be not lifted up because of thy strength or beauty of body, for with only a slight sickness it will fail and wither away. Be not vain of thy skillfulness or ability, lest thou displease God, from whom cometh every good gift which we have … it is no harm to thee if thou place thyself below all others; but it is great harm if thou place thyself above even one.
The Imitation of Christ (Ch. VI) by Thomas A. Kempis, Hendrickson Publishers
