More quotes by 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
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
What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself.
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
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
Thomas a Kempis
He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.
Thomas a Kempis
Therefore, a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men.
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
Old custom is hard to break and scarce any man will be led otherwise than seemeth good unto himself.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou may not continually gather thyself together, do it sometime at least once a day, morning or evening.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Thou shalt ever joy at eventide if thou spend the day fruitfully.
Thomas a Kempis
For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.
Thomas a Kempis
The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.
Thomas a Kempis
To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love.
Thomas a Kempis
No man doth safely rule, but he that hath learned gladly to obey.
Thomas a Kempis
To be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with such as go contrary to us, is a great grace.
Thomas a Kempis
Love flies, runs, and rejoices it is free and nothing can hold it back.
Thomas a Kempis
You are a man, not God you are human, not an angel. How can you expect to remain always in a constant state of virtue, when this was not possible even for an angel of Heaven, nor for the first man in the Garden?
Thomas a Kempis
The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
Thomas a Kempis
