More quotes by 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
He is truly great that is great in charity. He is truly great that is little in himself, and maketh no account of any height of honor. And he is truly learned that doeth the will of God, and forsaketh his own will.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Man sees your actions, but God your motives.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.
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
Image
My child, it will be better for you if you accept my decisions without complaint. Do not ask me to defend my actions or to explain why one person is favored and another seems slighted. The answers to these questions go far beyond your comprehension.
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
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
To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
If you would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from heaven. For he who give the us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace.
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
Many deceive themselves, imagining they'll find happiness in change.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Study, therefore, to withdraw the love of your soul from all things that are visible, and turn it to things that are invisible.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly.
Thomas a Kempis

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