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

Thomas a Kempis
Know all and you will pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis

Praise adds nothing to your holiness, nor does blame take anything from it. You are what you are, and you cannot be said to be better than you are in God's sight.
Thomas a Kempis
Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.
Thomas a Kempis
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
