Study to do another's will rather than thine own. Choose ever to have less rather than more. Seek ever the lower place and to be subject to all; ever wish and pray that the will of God may be perfectly done in thee and in all. Behold such a man enters the bounds of peace and calm.


Thomas à Kempis - (1380-1471), German monk, mystic. The Imitation of Christ, pt. 3, ch. 25 (1471)
