More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.
Thomas a Kempis
Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
Thomas a Kempis
So fixed are our spirits in slothfulness and cold indifference that we seldom overcome so much as one evil habit.
Thomas a Kempis

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

Renounce all things, and thou shalt find all things give up thy lust, and thou shalt find rest.
Thomas a Kempis
If you bear the cross unwillingly, you make it a burden, and load yourself more heavily but you must bear it.
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
Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.
Thomas a Kempis
A man of peace does more good than a very learned man.
Thomas a Kempis
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.
Thomas a Kempis
No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.
Thomas a Kempis
We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.
Thomas a Kempis
