For no worldly good whatever, and for the love of no man, must anything be done which is evil, but for the help of the suffering a good work must sometimes be postponed, or be changed for a better; for herein a good work is not destroyed, but improved. Without charity no work profits, but whatsoever is done in charity, however small and of no reputation it be, brings forth good fruit; for truly God considers what a man is able to do, more than the greatness of what he does.
Imitation of Christ, I, 15:1
