More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.
Thomas a Kempis
Carry the cross patiently, and with perfect submission and in the end it shall carry you.
Thomas a Kempis
Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor? [Lat., Cur quaeris quietem, quam natus sis ad laborem?]
Thomas a Kempis
If thou hadst simplicity and purity, thou wouldst be able to comprehend all things without error, and behold them without danger. The pure heart safely pervades not only heaven, but hell.
Thomas a Kempis
Cling, therefore, to Jesus in life and death trust yourself to the glory of Him who alone can help you when all others fail.
Thomas a Kempis
For they truly know their Lord in the breaking of bread, whose heart within them so vehemently burneth, whilst Thou, O blessed Jesus, dost walk and converse with them.
Thomas a Kempis
How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
Thomas a Kempis
A man of peace does more good than a very learned man.
Thomas a Kempis
Peace and happiness are what you covet, but these are only to be obtained by labor.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.
Thomas a Kempis
Happy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience
Thomas a Kempis
Leave off that excessive desire of knowing therein is found much distraction. There are many things the knowledge of which is of little or no profit to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
Christ willed to suffer and be despised and do you dare complain of the same? Christ had adversaries and backbiters and do you wish to have all men your friends and benefactors? When shall your patience attain her crown if no adversity befalls you? If you are willing to suffer naught that is against you, how will you be the friend of Christ?
Thomas a Kempis
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
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
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
Restrain an inordinate desire for knowledge, in which is found much anxiety and deception. Learned men always wish to appear so, and desire recognition of their wisdom. But there are many matters, knowledge of which brings little or no advantage to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Thomas a Kempis
Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
Man proposes, but God disposes.
Thomas a Kempis
