Thomas a Kempis
Always be ready always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.
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

Thomas a Kempis
Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Thought thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Oh, how quickly the world's glory passes away.
Thomas a Kempis
It is better to feel repentance, than to be able to define it.
Thomas a Kempis
Man proposes, but God disposes.
Thomas a Kempis
Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.
Thomas a Kempis
Happy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience
