And then, on through all eternity.
Thomas a Kempis

Always be ready always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.
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
Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.
Thomas a Kempis
