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
What thou art, that thou art that God knoweth thee to be and thou canst be said to be no greater.

The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
Thomas a Kempis

Man proposes, but God disposes.
Thomas a Kempis
For things that worth little or nothing we care a lot and we oversight what is necessary because every man goes towards the exterior and if he doesn't regain consciousness quickly, with pleasure remain involved in it.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
