More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.
Thomas a Kempis
It carries a burden which is no burden it will not be kept back by anything low and mean it desires to be free from all wordly affections, and not to be entangled by any outward prosperity, or by any adversity subdued.
Thomas a Kempis
It is better to feel repentance, than to be able to define it.
Thomas a Kempis
Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
Carry the cross patiently, and with perfect submission and in the end it shall carry you.
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
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
Simplicity and purity are the two wings by which a man is lifted above all earthly things. Simplicity is in the intention - purity in the affection. Simplicity tends to God, - purity apprehends and tastes Him.
Thomas a Kempis
No confict is so severe as his who labors to subdue himself.
Thomas a Kempis
God deceiveth thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.
Thomas a Kempis
