More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Let nothing disturb thee, Let nothing affright thee All passeth away: God only shall stay. Patience wins all: Who hath God, needeth nothing For God is his All.
Thomas a Kempis
Whoever finds Jesus, finds a rich treasure, and a good above every good. He who loses Jesus loses much indeed, and more than the whole world. Poorest of all is he who lives without Jesus, and richest of all is he who stands in favor with Jesus.
Thomas a Kempis
He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.
Thomas a Kempis
It is thy duty often times to do what thou wouldst not thy duty too, to leave undone that thou wouldst do.
Thomas a Kempis
Be at peace with yourself first and then you will be able to bring peace to others.
Thomas a Kempis
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
Thomas a Kempis
We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.
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
Let not your peace rest in the utterances of men, for whether they put a good or bad construction on your conduct does not make you other than you are.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
God deceiveth thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
Remember always your end, and that lost time does not return.
Thomas a Kempis
Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
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
Learned arguments do not make a man holy and righteous, whereas a good life makes him dear to God.
Thomas a Kempis
When anger enters the mind, wisdom departs.
Thomas a Kempis
