What thou art, that thou art.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Love is a mighty power, a great and complete good. Love alone lightens every burden, and makes rough places smooth. It bears every hardship as though it were nothing, and renders all bitterness sweet and acceptable.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Love alone makes heavy burdens light and bears in equal balance things pleasing and displeasing. Love bears a heavy burden and does not feel it, and love makes bitter things tasteful and sweet.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
If you can talk and it's convenient to talk, try to say things that edify.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Image

Thomas a Kempis
Image
He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
If thou be not busy for thyself now, who shall be busy for thee in time to come?
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Cling, therefore, to Jesus in life and death trust yourself to the glory of Him who alone can help you when all others fail.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Thou shalt ever joy at eventide if thou spend the day fruitfully.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
It is better to feel repentance, than to be able to define it.
