More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Love flies, runs, and rejoices it is free and nothing can hold it back.
Thomas a Kempis
Let not your peace rest in the utterances of men, for whether they put a good or bad construction on your conduct does not make you other than you are.
Thomas a Kempis
You are a man, not God you are human, not an angel. How can you expect to remain always in a constant state of virtue, when this was not possible even for an angel of Heaven, nor for the first man in the Garden?
Thomas a Kempis
Oh, how quickly the world's glory passes away.
Thomas a Kempis
A wise and good man will turn examples of all sorts to his own advantage. The good he will make his patterns, and strive to equal or excel them. The bad he will by all means avoid.
Thomas a Kempis
The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
Thomas a Kempis
The intention which is fixed on God as its only end will keep people steady in their purposes, and deliver them from being the joke and scorn of fortune.
Thomas a Kempis
Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness.
Thomas a Kempis
Is a man one whit the better because he is grown great in other men's esteem?
Thomas a Kempis
It is better to feel repentance, than to be able to define it.
Thomas a Kempis
Count not thyself to have found true peace, if thou hast felt no grief nor that then all is well if thou hast no adversary nor that this is perfect, if all things fall out according to thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis
He is truly great that is little in himself, and that maketh no account of any height of honors.
Thomas a Kempis
O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.
Thomas a Kempis
It is easier not to speak a word at all than to speak more words than we should.
Thomas a Kempis
Simplicity and purity are the two wings by which a man is lifted above all earthly things. Simplicity is in the intention - purity in the affection. Simplicity tends to God, - purity apprehends and tastes Him.
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
Few spirits are made better by the pain and languor of sickness as few great pilgrims become eminent saints.
Thomas a Kempis
When anger enters the mind, wisdom departs.
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
Peace and happiness are what you covet, but these are only to be obtained by labor.
Thomas a Kempis
