More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
What thou art, that thou art.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
If thou be not busy for thyself now, who shall be busy for thee in time to come?
Thomas a Kempis
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle.
Thomas a Kempis
Many deceive themselves, imagining they'll find happiness in change.
Thomas a Kempis
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
Thomas a Kempis
All is vanity but to love God and serve Him.

Thomas a Kempis
Simplicity reaches out after God purity discovers and enjoys Him.
Thomas a Kempis
Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.
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
When anger enters the mind, wisdom departs.
Thomas a Kempis
May not be your peace in the mouth of the men since no matter if they thing good or bad about you, you should not be a different man because of that.
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
