More quotes by Thomas a Kempis

Image
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
Image
A man of peace does more good than a very learned man.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Count not thyself to have found true peace, if thou hast felt no grief nor that then all is well if thou hast no adversary nor that this is perfect, if all things fall out according to thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Love is a mighty power, a great and complete good. Love alone lightens every burden, and makes rough places smooth. It bears every hardship as though it were nothing, and renders all bitterness sweet and acceptable.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
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
Image
If you wish to live in peace and harmony with others, you must learn to discipline yourself in many ways.
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
Image
Whatever you do, do it with intelligence, and keep the end in view.
Thomas a Kempis

When anger enters the mind, wisdom departs.
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
Image
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
Image
God deceiveth thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Do what lieth in thy power, and God will assist in thy good will.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Love alone makes heavy burdens light and bears in equal balance things pleasing and displeasing. Love bears a heavy burden and does not feel it, and love makes bitter things tasteful and sweet.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
My child, it will be better for you if you accept my decisions without complaint. Do not ask me to defend my actions or to explain why one person is favored and another seems slighted. The answers to these questions go far beyond your comprehension.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
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
Image
Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Do not let your peace depend on what people say of you... True peace and joy is to be found in [Jesus] alone.
