Thomas a Kempis
Do what lieth in thy power, and God will assist in thy good will.
Thomas a Kempis
Learned arguments do not make a man holy and righteous, whereas a good life makes him dear to God.
Thomas a Kempis
Christ willed to suffer and be despised and do you dare complain of the same? Christ had adversaries and backbiters and do you wish to have all men your friends and benefactors? When shall your patience attain her crown if no adversity befalls you? If you are willing to suffer naught that is against you, how will you be the friend of Christ?
Thomas a Kempis
Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.
Thomas a Kempis
Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor? [Lat., Cur quaeris quietem, quam natus sis ad laborem?]
Thomas a Kempis
If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.
Thomas a Kempis
Let nothing disturb thee, Let nothing affright thee All passeth away: God only shall stay. Patience wins all: Who hath God, needeth nothing For God is his All.
Thomas a Kempis
The enemy is more easily overcome if he be not suffered to enter the door of our hearts, but be resisted without the gate at his first knock.
Thomas a Kempis
