More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.
Thomas a Kempis
Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.
Thomas a Kempis
In the morning fix thy good purpose and at night examine thyself what thou hast done, how thou hast behaved thyself in word, deed, and thought.
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
Love flies, runs, and rejoices it is free and nothing can hold it back.
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
If thou hadst a good conscience thou wouldst not greatly fear death.
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
If you wish to live in peace and harmony with others, you must learn to discipline yourself in many ways.
Thomas a Kempis
It carries a burden which is no burden it will not be kept back by anything low and mean it desires to be free from all wordly affections, and not to be entangled by any outward prosperity, or by any adversity subdued.
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
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
Praise adds nothing to your holiness, nor does blame take anything from it. You are what you are, and you cannot be said to be better than you are in God's sight.
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
The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.
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
Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
Thomas a Kempis
It is better to feel repentance, than to be able to define it.
Thomas a Kempis
