No one is qualified to converse in public except those contented to do without such conversation.
Thomas a Kempis
He is truly great that is great in charity. He is truly great that is little in himself, and maketh no account of any height of honor. And he is truly learned that doeth the will of God, and forsaketh his own will.
Thomas a Kempis
Restrain an inordinate desire for knowledge, in which is found much anxiety and deception. Learned men always wish to appear so, and desire recognition of their wisdom. But there are many matters, knowledge of which brings little or no advantage to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
May not be your peace in the mouth of the men since no matter if they thing good or bad about you, you should not be a different man because of that.
Thomas a Kempis
Of two evils we must always choose the least.
Thomas a Kempis
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
Thomas a Kempis
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Thomas a Kempis
Let temporal things serve thy use, but the eternal be the object of thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle.
Thomas a Kempis
Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.
Thomas a Kempis
