More quotes by 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
Some people are tempted most strongly at the beginning of their spiritual life, others near the end. Some are troubled all their lives. Still others receive only light temptation. Such things are decided by God, and we can trust his wisdom.
Thomas a Kempis
Be thankful for the smallest blessing and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest, and simple graces as especial favors. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean.
Thomas a Kempis
Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
Is a man one whit the better because he is grown great in other men's esteem?
Thomas a Kempis
Be at peace with yourself first and then you will be able to bring peace to others.
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
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
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.
Thomas a Kempis
Love flies, runs, and rejoices it is free and nothing can hold it back.
Thomas a Kempis
Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.
Thomas a Kempis
The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.
Thomas a Kempis
Don't flatter the rich, or appear to willing before the great.
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
He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.
Thomas a Kempis
Habit is overcome by habit.
Thomas a Kempis
Let temporal things serve thy use, but the eternal be the object of thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis
Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.
Thomas a Kempis
