More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more.
Thomas a Kempis
Salvation by the cross. [Lat., In cruce salus.]
Thomas a Kempis
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
Out of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.
Thomas a Kempis
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
Thomas a Kempis
Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
Thomas a Kempis
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
Thomas a Kempis
How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
Thomas a Kempis
Ah, Lord God, thou holy lover of my soul, when thou comest into my heart, all that is within me shall rejoice.
Thomas a Kempis
God evaluates by this criterion: How much love you invest in what you do is more important than how you do. The one who loves much is actually the one who does much.
Thomas a Kempis
Judge yourself and beware of passing judgement on others. In judging others we expend our energy to no purpose we are often mistaken and easily sin. But if we judge ourselves our labour is always to our profit.
Thomas a Kempis
Whoever finds Jesus, finds a rich treasure, and a good above every good. He who loses Jesus loses much indeed, and more than the whole world. Poorest of all is he who lives without Jesus, and richest of all is he who stands in favor with Jesus.
Thomas a Kempis
A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.
Thomas a Kempis
Man considers the actions, but God weighs the intentions.
Thomas a Kempis
When comfort is withdrawn, do not be cast down, but humbly and patiently await the visitation of God. He is able and powerful to give you more grace and more spiritual comfort than you first had.
Thomas a Kempis
Study, therefore, to withdraw the love of your soul from all things that are visible, and turn it to things that are invisible.
Thomas a Kempis
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
Oh, how quickly the world's glory passes away.
Thomas a Kempis
What thou art, that thou art.
Thomas a Kempis
No one is so good that he is immune from temptation. We will never be entirely free from it. . . . There is no order so holy, no place so secret where there will be no temptation.
Thomas a Kempis
