Thomas a Kempis
Image
Few spirits are made better by the pain and languor of sickness as few great pilgrims become eminent saints.

Thomas a Kempis
Image
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
Image
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
Image
All is vanity but to love God and serve Him.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Thought thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
