More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.
Thomas a Kempis
Let not your peace rest in the utterances of men, for whether they put a good or bad construction on your conduct does not make you other than you are.
Thomas a Kempis
Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.
Thomas a Kempis
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
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
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Thomas a Kempis
In the morning fix thy good purpose and at night examine thyself what thou hast done, how thou hast behaved thyself in word, deed, and thought.
Thomas a Kempis
Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.
Thomas a Kempis
Salvation by the cross. [Lat., In cruce salus.]
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
A humble knowledge of ourselves is a surer way to God than is the search for depth of learning.
Thomas a Kempis
A wise and good man will turn examples of all sorts to his own advantage. The good he will make his patterns, and strive to equal or excel them. The bad he will by all means avoid.
Thomas a Kempis
Renounce all things, and thou shalt find all things give up thy lust, and thou shalt find rest.
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
The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.
Thomas a Kempis
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou hadst a good conscience thou wouldst not greatly fear death.
Thomas a Kempis
All is vanity but to love God and serve Him.
Thomas a Kempis
Remember always your end, and that lost time does not return.
Thomas a Kempis
