More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
There is no man in this world without some manner of tribulation or anguish, though he be king or pope.
Thomas a Kempis
Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.
Thomas a Kempis
Love makes everything that is heavy light.
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
Out of sight, out of mind. The absent are always in the wrong.
Thomas a Kempis
Restrain an inordinate desire for knowledge, in which is found much anxiety and deception. Learned men always wish to appear so, and desire recognition of their wisdom. But there are many matters, knowledge of which brings little or no advantage to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
Always be ready always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
Man sees your actions, but God your motives.
Thomas a Kempis
Anyone who thinks hard work will never hurt you has never had to pay to have it done. Jesus now has many lovers of his Heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of his cross.
Thomas a Kempis
Be thankful for the smallest blessing and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest, and simple graces as especial favors. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean.
Thomas a Kempis
The more the flesh is wasted by affliction, so much more is the Spirit strengthened by inward grace.
Thomas a Kempis
The more humble and obedient to God a man is, the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.
Thomas a Kempis
The measure of every man’s virtue is best revealed in time of adversity - adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.
Thomas a Kempis
What thou art, that thou art.
Thomas a Kempis
Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou hadst a good conscience thou wouldst not greatly fear death.
Thomas a Kempis
Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.
Thomas a Kempis
When anger enters the mind, wisdom departs.
Thomas a Kempis
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Thomas a Kempis
Bodily exercises are to be done discreetly not to be taken evenly and alike by all men.
Thomas a Kempis
