More quotes by 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
He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.
Thomas a Kempis
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
Thomas a Kempis
Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.
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
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
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
To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection.
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
For it is the grace of Christ, and not our own virtue, that gives us the power to overcome the flesh and the world.
Thomas a Kempis
The more humble and obedient to God a man is, the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.
Thomas a Kempis
Remember always your end, and that lost time does not return.
Thomas a Kempis
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.
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
Love alone makes heavy burdens light and bears in equal balance things pleasing and displeasing. Love bears a heavy burden and does not feel it, and love makes bitter things tasteful and sweet.
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
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
Don't flatter the rich, or appear to willing before the great.
Thomas a Kempis
He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.
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
