Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
What thou art, that thou art that God knoweth thee to be and thou canst be said to be no greater.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.
Thomas a Kempis

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
In the morning fix thy good purpose and at night examine thyself what thou hast done, how thou hast behaved thyself in word, deed, and thought.
Thomas a Kempis
Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.
Thomas a Kempis
Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou wilt receive profit, read with humility, simplicity and faith, and seek not at any time the fame of being learned.
Thomas a Kempis
