More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Our dependence upon God ought to be so entire and absolute that we should never think it necessary, in any kind of distress, to have recourse to human consolations.
Thomas a Kempis
Count not thyself to have found true peace, if thou hast felt no grief nor that then all is well if thou hast no adversary nor that this is perfect, if all things fall out according to thy desire.
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
He rides pleasantly enough whom the grace of God carries.
Thomas a Kempis
How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
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
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
If thou hadst simplicity and purity, thou wouldst be able to comprehend all things without error, and behold them without danger. The pure heart safely pervades not only heaven, but hell.
Thomas a Kempis
For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.
Thomas a Kempis
If you can talk and it's convenient to talk, try to say things that edify.
Thomas a Kempis
No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.
Thomas a Kempis
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
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
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.
Thomas a Kempis
Man proposes, but God disposes.
Thomas a Kempis
Know all and you will pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
Ah, Lord God, thou holy lover of my soul, when thou comest into my heart, all that is within me shall rejoice.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou hadst a good conscience thou wouldst not greatly fear death.
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
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
