"I have said: exchange what is precious and valued among men for that which is considered contemptible. For true heavenly wisdom--not to think highly of self and not to seek glory on earth--does indeed seem mean and small and is well-nigh forgotten, as many men praise it with their mouths but shy far away from it in their lives. Yet this heavenly wisdom is a pearl of great price, which is hidden from many."
~From The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a' Kempis
