More quotes by 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
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
All earthly joy begins pleasantly, but at the end it gnaws and kills.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.
Thomas a Kempis
Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.
Thomas a Kempis
When comfort is withdrawn, do not be cast down, but humbly and patiently await the visitation of God. He is able and powerful to give you more grace and more spiritual comfort than you first had.
Thomas a Kempis
A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.
Thomas a Kempis
I have sought for happiness everywhere, but I have found it nowhere except in a little corner with a little book.
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
Out of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.
Thomas a Kempis
So fixed are our spirits in slothfulness and cold indifference that we seldom overcome so much as one evil habit.
Thomas a Kempis
The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step in repairing our loss.
Thomas a Kempis
What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?
Thomas a Kempis
Many deceive themselves, imagining they'll find happiness in change.
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 end of all is death and man's life passeth away suddenly as a shadow.
Thomas a Kempis
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
Thomas a Kempis
Always keep a good distance between yourself and lying, quarreling, detracting, insulting and gossip. The person who can do that will some day learn to enjoy the silence.
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
Man considers the actions, but God weighs the intentions.
Thomas a Kempis
