a kempis Quote

"What does a man gain from being held in high repute by someone else? When one man praises another it is a case of one hypocrite deceiving his fellow hypocrite, the blind cheating the blind, the weak the weak; and so meaningless the praise is, it's really more of a disgrace to its recipient than anything else" (Thomas a Kempis, Imitation Bk. iii Pg. 196).
