More quotes by 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
Leave off that excessive desire of knowing therein is found much distraction. There are many things the knowledge of which is of little or no profit to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
Cling, therefore, to Jesus in life and death trust yourself to the glory of Him who alone can help you when all others fail.
Thomas a Kempis
Our dependence upon God ought to be so entire and absolute that we should never think it necessary, in any kind of distress, to have recourse to human consolations.
Thomas a Kempis
He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.
Thomas a Kempis
Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.
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
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
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
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
Whatever you do, do it with intelligence, and keep the end in view.
Thomas a Kempis
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
Know all and you will pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
If you seek Jesus in all things you will surely find Jesus. And if you seek yourself, you will surely find yourself, but only to your ruin.
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
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
