“After he had thus silently progressed in his studies, though the opinion of men remained ignorant of his advances, Master Albert began to lecture on the Divine Names of blessed Dionysius, and the youth listened to his lectures most attentively. Being moved by compassion, another student, who did not suspect the immense virtue of understanding that lay hidden in his colleague's mind, volunteered to repeat the lesson to Thomas, who humbly received the instruction with thanks. Nevertheless, when the student began to stumble in his exposition, Brother Thomas responded, as though he had already directly received from God his license to speak, by repeating the lecture down to its finest distinction and supplying many more things that the Master had left unsaid. Stupefied, the student then asked if Brother Thomas would repeat the lessons to him from that time on, for the sake of reciprocity. Thomas graciously promised to do so, but asked that the student would not disclose their arrangement to anyone else, with the hope that he might remain hidden in his apparent simplicity.”

“By the weight of his power, a ruler may wield the illusion of greatness. But the greatest among us never sat upon the throne, yet his spirit guided a nation more deeply than any who did — through the quiet strength of character, the courage of conviction, and the authentic love of the people. He reigned, yet never ruled — and that is the hallmark of greatness.”
