More quotes by 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
Renounce all things, and thou shalt find all things give up thy lust, and thou shalt find rest.
Thomas a Kempis
If you wish to live in peace and harmony with others, you must learn to discipline yourself in many ways.
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
The measure of every man’s virtue is best revealed in time of adversity - adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.
Thomas a Kempis
If you can talk and it's convenient to talk, try to say things that edify.
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
The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.
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
Judge yourself and beware of passing judgement on others. In judging others we expend our energy to no purpose we are often mistaken and easily sin. But if we judge ourselves our labour is always to our profit.
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
No one is so good that he is immune from temptation. We will never be entirely free from it. . . . There is no order so holy, no place so secret where there will be no temptation.
Thomas a Kempis
Know all and you will pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.
Thomas a Kempis
Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.
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
If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.
Thomas a Kempis
Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.
Thomas a Kempis
Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.
Thomas a Kempis
He is truly great that is great in charity. He is truly great that is little in himself, and maketh no account of any height of honor. And he is truly learned that doeth the will of God, and forsaketh his own will.
Thomas a Kempis
