From Imitation of Christ, in file "Imitation of Christ", page 232
By Thomas a Kempis
2. But they that love Jesus for Jesus’s sake, and not for any comfort of their own, bless him no less in tribulation and anguish of heart, than in the greatest consolation.
And if he should never give them his comfort, yet would they always praise him, and always give him thanks.
