More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Do what lieth in thy power, and God will assist in thy good will.
Thomas a Kempis
Judge yourself and beware of passing judgement on others. In judging others we expend our energy to no purpose we are often mistaken and easily sin. But if we judge ourselves our labour is always to our profit.
Thomas a Kempis
The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.
Thomas a Kempis
If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
Thomas a Kempis
Always be ready always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
Learned arguments do not make a man holy and righteous, whereas a good life makes him dear to God.
Thomas a Kempis
Man proposes, but God disposes.
Thomas a Kempis
To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love.
Thomas a Kempis
Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Thomas a Kempis
Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness.
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
Whoever finds Jesus, finds a rich treasure, and a good above every good. He who loses Jesus loses much indeed, and more than the whole world. Poorest of all is he who lives without Jesus, and richest of all is he who stands in favor with Jesus.
Thomas a Kempis
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
Restrain an inordinate desire for knowledge, in which is found much anxiety and deception. Learned men always wish to appear so, and desire recognition of their wisdom. But there are many matters, knowledge of which brings little or no advantage to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.
Thomas a Kempis
If you can talk and it's convenient to talk, try to say things that edify.
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
Love flies, runs, and rejoices it is free and nothing can hold it back.
Thomas a Kempis
The end of all is death and man's life passeth away suddenly as a shadow.
Thomas a Kempis
Old custom is hard to break and scarce any man will be led otherwise than seemeth good unto himself.
Thomas a Kempis
