Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
The more the flesh is wasted by affliction, so much more is the Spirit strengthened by inward grace.

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
