More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.
Thomas a Kempis
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Thomas a Kempis
Habit is overcome by habit.
Thomas a Kempis
Occasions of adversity best discover how great virtue or strength each one hath. For occasions do not make a man frail, but they show what he is.
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
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
Study, therefore, to withdraw the love of your soul from all things that are visible, and turn it to things that are invisible.
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
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
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
Out of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.
Thomas a Kempis
God evaluates by this criterion: How much love you invest in what you do is more important than how you do. The one who loves much is actually the one who does much.
Thomas a Kempis
Oh, how quickly the world's glory passes away.
Thomas a Kempis
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
Thomas a Kempis
He is truly great that is little in himself, and that maketh no account of any height of honors.
Thomas a Kempis
Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace.
Thomas a Kempis
Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.
Thomas a Kempis
No one is so good that he is immune from temptation. We will never be entirely free from it. . . . There is no order so holy, no place so secret where there will be no temptation.
Thomas a Kempis
To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection.
Thomas a Kempis
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
