More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.
Thomas a Kempis
Our dependence upon God ought to be so entire and absolute that we should never think it necessary, in any kind of distress, to have recourse to human consolations.
Thomas a Kempis
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.
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
Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.

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
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
Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.

Thomas a Kempis
Thou shalt ever joy at eventide if thou spend the day fruitfully.
Thomas a Kempis
A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.
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When comfort is withdrawn, do not be cast down, but humbly and patiently await the visitation of God.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
Bodily exercises are to be done discreetly not to be taken evenly and alike by all men.
Thomas a Kempis
Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.
Thomas a Kempis
Out of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.
Thomas a Kempis
Be at peace with yourself first and then you will be able to bring peace to others.
Thomas a Kempis
The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly.
Thomas a Kempis
Be thankful for the smallest blessing and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest, and simple graces as especial favors. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean.
Thomas a Kempis
