The Triumph of the Hidden and the Useless

“HOW true it is that in the day of judgment many will be known to have wrought great achievements within the dominions of Christ’s kingdom, who passed for insignificant and useless persons in the world, arid were held in no repute even amongst good men. And as true it is, that the great and wonderful deeds of many which made so much noise and rendered those who wrought them so famous, will be found empty, full of the self-seekings of nature, and devoid of the Spirit of God.”

— Henri-Marie Boudon, The Hidden Life of Jesus: a Lesson and Model to Christians, (Transl.,Edward Healy Thompson); 1869
