More quotes by 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
Love is watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle.
Thomas a Kempis
Love alone makes heavy burdens light and bears in equal balance things pleasing and displeasing. Love bears a heavy burden and does not feel it, and love makes bitter things tasteful and sweet.
Thomas a Kempis
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
Thomas a Kempis
Man proposes, but God disposes.
Thomas a Kempis
Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!
Thomas a Kempis

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
No one is so good that he is immune from temptation. We will never be entirely free from it. . . . There is no order so holy, no place so secret where there will be no temptation.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.
Thomas a Kempis
A humble knowledge of ourselves is a surer way to God than is the search for depth of learning.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou be not busy for thyself now, who shall be busy for thee in time to come?
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
May not be your peace in the mouth of the men since no matter if they thing good or bad about you, you should not be a different man because of that.
Thomas a Kempis
Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more.
Thomas a Kempis
What thou art, that thou art.
Thomas a Kempis
All earthly joy begins pleasantly, but at the end it gnaws and kills.
Thomas a Kempis
So fixed are our spirits in slothfulness and cold indifference that we seldom overcome so much as one evil habit.
Thomas a Kempis
The end of all is death and man's life passeth away suddenly as a shadow.
Thomas a Kempis
The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
Thomas a Kempis
