Christ was despised on earth by men, and in His greatest need, amid insults, was abandoned by those who knew Him and by friends: and you dare to complain of anyone? Christ had His adversaries and slanderers; and you wish to have everyone as friends and benefactors?
Whence will your patience win its crown if it has encountered nothing of adversity?
The Imitation of Christ, Thomas a Kempis
