Wisdom from Thomas à Kempis

Claim nothing for yourself, think of others kindly and with admiration; that is the height of wisdom, and its masterpiece. Never think yourself better than the next man, however glaring his faults, however grievous his offences; you are in good dispositions now, but how long will they last? Tell yourself, ‘We are frail, all of us, but none so frail as I.’

—Thomas á Kempis

from The Imitation of Christ
