More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Judge yourself and beware of passing judgement on others. In judging others we expend our energy to no purpose we are often mistaken and easily sin. But if we judge ourselves our labour is always to our profit.
Thomas a Kempis
The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.
Thomas a Kempis
The more the flesh is wasted by affliction, so much more is the Spirit strengthened by inward grace.
Thomas a Kempis
Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle.
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
He rides pleasantly enough whom the grace of God carries.
Thomas a Kempis
Our own opinion of ourselves should be lower than that formed by others, for we have a better chance at our imperfections.
Thomas a Kempis
Few spirits are made better by the pain and languor of sickness as few great pilgrims become eminent saints.
Thomas a Kempis
All earthly joy begins pleasantly, but at the end it gnaws and kills.
Thomas a Kempis
He is truly great that is great in charity. He is truly great that is little in himself, and maketh no account of any height of honor. And he is truly learned that doeth the will of God, and forsaketh his own will.
Thomas a Kempis
The enemy is more easily overcome if he be not suffered to enter the door of our hearts, but be resisted without the gate at his first knock.
Thomas a Kempis
No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.
Thomas a Kempis
Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace.
Thomas a Kempis
Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.
Thomas a Kempis
Count not thyself to have found true peace, if thou hast felt no grief nor that then all is well if thou hast no adversary nor that this is perfect, if all things fall out according to thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou hadst a good conscience thou wouldst not greatly fear death.
Thomas a Kempis
It is better to feel repentance, than to be able to define 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
