More quotes by Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Renounce all things, and thou shalt find all things give up thy lust, and thou shalt find rest.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Always be ready always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Let temporal things serve thy use, but the eternal be the object of thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Old custom is hard to break and scarce any man will be led otherwise than seemeth good unto himself.
Thomas a Kempis
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
Habit is overcome by habit.
Thomas a Kempis
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Thomas a Kempis
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
Thomas a Kempis
Occasions of adversity best discover how great virtue or strength each one hath. For occasions do not make a man frail, but they show what he is.
Thomas a Kempis
Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.
Thomas a Kempis
Therefore, a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men.
Thomas a Kempis
