More quotes by Thomas a Kempis

Image
But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
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
Image
Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Thought thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.
Thomas a Kempis

The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
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.

Salvation by the cross. [Lat., In cruce salus.]
Thomas a Kempis
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There is no man in this world without some manner of tribulation or anguish, though he be king or pope.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Man proposes, but God disposes.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
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
Image
No one is qualified to converse in public except those contented to do without such conversation.
