More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
If thou hadst a good conscience thou wouldst not greatly fear death.
Thomas a Kempis
Happy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience
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
Love is a mighty power, a great and complete good. Love alone lightens every burden, and makes rough places smooth. It bears every hardship as though it were nothing, and renders all bitterness sweet and acceptable.
Thomas a Kempis
If you can talk and it's convenient to talk, try to say things that edify.
Thomas a Kempis
Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.
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
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
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
Thomas a Kempis
Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.
Thomas a Kempis
Peace and happiness are what you covet, but these are only to be obtained by labor.
Thomas a Kempis
Love makes everything that is heavy light.
Thomas a Kempis
The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
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
Leave off that excessive desire of knowing therein is found much distraction. There are many things the knowledge of which is of little or no profit to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
May not be your peace in the mouth of the men since no matter if they thing good or bad about you, you should not be a different man because of that.
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
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
You are a man, not God you are human, not an angel. How can you expect to remain always in a constant state of virtue, when this was not possible even for an angel of Heaven, nor for the first man in the Garden?
Thomas a Kempis
Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
