Excerpt from "Of The Imitation of Christ - Book 2, Admonitions Pertaining to Inward Things - Chapter 2: Humble Submission" by Thomas à Kempis.
"Count not of great importance who is for you or against you (Rom 8:31; 1 Cor 4:3), but let this be your aim and care, that God be with you in every thing you do. Have a good conscience and God will defend you (Ps 28:7).
For whom God wills to help, no man's perverseness shall be able to hurt. If you know how to be silent and suffer, without doubt you shall see the help of the Lord. He Himself knows the time and manner of delivering you, and therefore you ought to resign yourself unto Him. It belongs to God to help, and to deliver from confusion."
