More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.
Thomas a Kempis
If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.
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
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
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
Thomas a Kempis
You are a man, not God you are human, not an angel. How can you expect to remain always in a constant state of virtue, when this was not possible even for an angel of Heaven, nor for the first man in the Garden?
Thomas a Kempis
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
Remember always your end, and that lost time does not return.
Thomas a Kempis
The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.
Thomas a Kempis
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
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
Simplicity reaches out after God purity discovers and enjoys Him.
Thomas a Kempis
For things that worth little or nothing we care a lot and we oversight what is necessary because every man goes towards the exterior and if he doesn't regain consciousness quickly, with pleasure remain involved in it.
Thomas a Kempis
Man proposes, but God disposes.
Thomas a Kempis
Restrain an inordinate desire for knowledge, in which is found much anxiety and deception. Learned men always wish to appear so, and desire recognition of their wisdom. But there are many matters, knowledge of which brings little or no advantage to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
Do not let your peace depend on what people say of you... True peace and joy is to be found in [Jesus] alone.
Thomas a Kempis
O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.
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
Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.
Thomas a Kempis
