More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.
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 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
Our own opinion of ourselves should be lower than that formed by others, for we have a better chance at our imperfections.
Thomas a Kempis
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
Thomas a Kempis
How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
Thomas a Kempis
Scruples, temptations, and fears, and cutting perplexities of the heart, are often the lot of the most excellent persons.
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
Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness.
Thomas a Kempis
The more humble and obedient to God a man is, the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.
Thomas a Kempis
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Thomas a Kempis
Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.
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
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
A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.
Thomas a Kempis
We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.
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
Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace.
Thomas a Kempis
Love flies, runs, and rejoices it is free and nothing can hold it back.
Thomas a Kempis
