More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
What thou art, that thou art that God knoweth thee to be and thou canst be said to be no greater.
Thomas a Kempis
Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.
Thomas a Kempis
Leave off that excessive desire of knowing therein is found much distraction. There are many things the knowledge of which is of little or no profit to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
No one is qualified to converse in public except those contented to do without such conversation.
Thomas a Kempis
If you would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from heaven. For he who give the us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace.
Thomas a Kempis
Some people are tempted most strongly at the beginning of their spiritual life, others near the end. Some are troubled all their lives. Still others receive only light temptation. Such things are decided by God, and we can trust his wisdom.
Thomas a Kempis
Don't flatter the rich, or appear to willing before the great.
Thomas a Kempis
Salvation by the cross. [Lat., In cruce salus.]
Thomas a Kempis
What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself.
Thomas a Kempis
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
Thomas a Kempis
The more spiritual a man desires to be, the more bitter does his present life become to him because he sees more clearly and perceives more sensibly the defects of human corruption.
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
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
There is no man in this world without some manner of tribulation or anguish, though he be king or pope.
Thomas a Kempis
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
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
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
What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?
Thomas a Kempis
We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.
Thomas a Kempis
