More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.
Thomas a Kempis
Trust not to friends and kindred, neither do thou put off the care of thy soul's welfare til hereafter for men will sooner forget thee than thou art aware of.
Thomas a Kempis
We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.
Thomas a Kempis
He rides pleasantly enough whom the grace of God carries.
Thomas a Kempis
He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater.
Thomas a Kempis
Anyone who thinks hard work will never hurt you has never had to pay to have it done. Jesus now has many lovers of his Heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of his cross.
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
Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
Simplicity reaches out after God purity discovers and enjoys Him.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.
Thomas a Kempis
O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.
Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
Be at peace with yourself first and then you will be able to bring peace to others.
Thomas a Kempis
Always be ready always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
He is truly great that is little in himself, and that maketh no account of any height of honors.
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
Don't flatter the rich, or appear to willing before the great.
Thomas a Kempis
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Thomas a Kempis
Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
Thomas a Kempis
God evaluates by this criterion: How much love you invest in what you do is more important than how you do. The one who loves much is actually the one who does much.
Thomas a Kempis
