More quotes by 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
There is no man in this world without some manner of tribulation or anguish, though he be king or pope.
Thomas a Kempis
Is a man one whit the better because he is grown great in other men's esteem?
Thomas a Kempis
For things that worth little or nothing we care a lot and we oversight what is necessary because every man goes towards the exterior and if he doesn't regain consciousness quickly, with pleasure remain involved in it.
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
I have sought for happiness everywhere, but I have found it nowhere except in a little corner with a little book.
Thomas a Kempis
Renounce all things, and thou shalt find all things give up thy lust, and thou shalt find rest.
Thomas a Kempis
Some people are tempted most strongly at the beginning of their spiritual life, others near the end. Some are troubled all their lives. Still others receive only light temptation. Such things are decided by God, and we can trust his wisdom.
Thomas a Kempis
Never be entirely idle but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
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
A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.
Thomas a Kempis
You are a man, not God you are human, not an angel. How can you expect to remain always in a constant state of virtue, when this was not possible even for an angel of Heaven, nor for the first man in the Garden?
Thomas a Kempis
Man proposes, but God disposes.
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
He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.
Thomas a Kempis
Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.
Thomas a Kempis
Always be ready always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
Know all and you will pardon all.
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
The more spiritual a man desires to be, the more bitter does his present life become to him because he sees more clearly and perceives more sensibly the defects of human corruption.
Thomas a Kempis
