More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
What thou art, that thou art.
Thomas a Kempis
Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.
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
Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.
Thomas a Kempis
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Habit is overcome by habit.
Thomas a Kempis
For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.
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
He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.
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
Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou hadst simplicity and purity, thou wouldst be able to comprehend all things without error, and behold them without danger. The pure heart safely pervades not only heaven, but hell.
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
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
Thomas a Kempis
He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.
Thomas a Kempis
Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more.
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
Occasions of adversity best discover how great virtue or strength each one hath. For occasions do not make a man frail, but they show what he is.
Thomas a Kempis
Is a man one whit the better because he is grown great in other men's esteem?
Thomas a Kempis
