From the Enchiridion, chapter 24.
"Is lack of distinction bad?" If others cause your obscurity, meaning obscurity is external, then obscurity can not be bad (nor good, I suppose). "And how can you be 'a nobody in obscurity' when you only have to be somebody in the areas you control..."
"Which would you rather have, anyway - money, or a worthy and faithful friend? So why not support me to that end, rather than asking me to engage in behavior that involves the loss of these qualities?"
"It is enough if everyone plays their respective part."
"Whatever position you are equipped to fill, so long as you preserve the man of trust and integrity."
