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
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
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.
Thomas a Kempis
Old custom is hard to break and scarce any man will be led otherwise than seemeth good unto himself.
Thomas a Kempis
Grant me prudently to avoid him that flatters me, and to endure patiently him that contradicts me.
Thomas a Kempis
Never be entirely idle but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
Thomas a Kempis
If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.
Thomas a Kempis
Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.
Thomas a Kempis
Many deceive themselves, imagining they'll find happiness in change.
Thomas a Kempis
The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly.
Thomas a Kempis
The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.
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
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
The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step in repairing our loss.
Thomas a Kempis
Love alone makes heavy burdens light and bears in equal balance things pleasing and displeasing. Love bears a heavy burden and does not feel it, and love makes bitter things tasteful and sweet.
Thomas a Kempis
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
Thomas a Kempis
Know all and you will pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor? [Lat., Cur quaeris quietem, quam natus sis ad laborem?]
Thomas a Kempis
Christ willed to suffer and be despised and do you dare complain of the same? Christ had adversaries and backbiters and do you wish to have all men your friends and benefactors? When shall your patience attain her crown if no adversity befalls you? If you are willing to suffer naught that is against you, how will you be the friend of Christ?
Thomas a Kempis
What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself.
Thomas a Kempis
