More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
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
Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.
Thomas a Kempis
Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.
Thomas a Kempis
We feel and weigh soon enough what we suffer from others: but how much others suffer from us, of this we take no heed.
Thomas a Kempis
To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection.
Thomas a Kempis
Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!
Thomas a Kempis
The enemy is more easily overcome if he be not suffered to enter the door of our hearts, but be resisted without the gate at his first knock.
Thomas a Kempis
Carry the cross patiently, and with perfect submission and in the end it shall carry you.
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 watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle.
Thomas a Kempis
There is no man in this world without some manner of tribulation or anguish, though he be king or pope.
Thomas a Kempis
Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor? [Lat., Cur quaeris quietem, quam natus sis ad laborem?]
Thomas a Kempis
Always keep a good distance between yourself and lying, quarreling, detracting, insulting and gossip. The person who can do that will some day learn to enjoy the silence.
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
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
Thomas a Kempis
God deceiveth thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
What thou art, that thou art.
Thomas a Kempis
Whatever you do, do it with intelligence, and keep the end in view.
Thomas a Kempis
A wise and good man will turn examples of all sorts to his own advantage. The good he will make his patterns, and strive to equal or excel them. The bad he will by all means avoid.
Thomas a Kempis
