More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Salvation by the cross. [Lat., In cruce salus.]
Thomas a Kempis
It thou seek rest in this life, how wilt thou then attain to the everlasting rest? Dispose not thyself for much rest, but for great patience. Seek true peace--not in earth, but in heaven not in men, nor in any other creature, but in God alone.
Thomas a Kempis
Let nothing disturb thee, Let nothing affright thee All passeth away: God only shall stay. Patience wins all: Who hath God, needeth nothing For God is his All.
Thomas a Kempis
A life without purpose is a languid, drifting thing Every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves: This day let me make a sound beginning, for what we have hitherto done is naught!
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
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
The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.
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
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
If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
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
Our own opinion of ourselves should be lower than that formed by others, for we have a better chance at our imperfections.
Thomas a Kempis
Of two evils we must always choose the least.
Thomas a Kempis
Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.
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
No man doth safely rule, but he that hath learned gladly to obey.
Thomas a Kempis
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
Thomas a Kempis
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Thomas a Kempis
It is easier not to speak a word at all than to speak more words than we should.
Thomas a Kempis
Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!
Thomas a Kempis
