More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
My child, it will be better for you if you accept my decisions without complaint. Do not ask me to defend my actions or to explain why one person is favored and another seems slighted. The answers to these questions go far beyond your comprehension.
Thomas a Kempis
He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.
Thomas a Kempis
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Thomas a Kempis
Be therefore thankful for the least gift, so shalt thou be worthy to receive greater.
Thomas a Kempis
The end of all is death and man's life passeth away suddenly as a shadow.
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
Grant me prudently to avoid him that flatters me, and to endure patiently him that contradicts me.
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
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.
Thomas a Kempis
Occasions of adversity best discover how great virtue or strength each one hath. For occasions do not make a man frail, but they show what he is.
Thomas a Kempis
Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.
Thomas a Kempis
Love flies, runs, and rejoices it is free and nothing can hold it back.
Thomas a Kempis
The measure of every man’s virtue is best revealed in time of adversity - adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.
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
Renounce all things, and thou shalt find all things give up thy lust, and thou shalt find rest.
Thomas a Kempis
The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step in repairing our loss.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou wilt receive profit, read with humility, simplicity and faith, and seek not at any time the fame of being learned.
Thomas a Kempis
If you wish to live in peace and harmony with others, you must learn to discipline yourself in many ways.
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
