More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Do what lieth in thy power, and God will assist in thy good will.
Thomas a Kempis
In the morning fix thy good purpose and at night examine thyself what thou hast done, how thou hast behaved thyself in word, deed, and thought.
Thomas a Kempis
The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.
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
God deceiveth thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
Always be ready always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.
Thomas a Kempis
If you bear the cross unwillingly, you make it a burden, and load yourself more heavily but you must bear it.
Thomas a Kempis
Trust not to friends and kindred, neither do thou put off the care of thy soul's welfare til hereafter for men will sooner forget thee than thou art aware of.
Thomas a Kempis
Let temporal things serve thy use, but the eternal be the object of thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis
If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.
Thomas a Kempis
Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.
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
Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.
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
How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
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
Love is a mighty power, a great and complete good. Love alone lightens every burden, and makes rough places smooth. It bears every hardship as though it were nothing, and renders all bitterness sweet and acceptable.
Thomas a Kempis
Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
Thomas a Kempis
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
