More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Our dependence upon God ought to be so entire and absolute that we should never think it necessary, in any kind of distress, to have recourse to human consolations.
Thomas a Kempis
Peace and happiness are what you covet, but these are only to be obtained by labor.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou hadst simplicity and purity, thou wouldst be able to comprehend all things without error, and behold them without danger. The pure heart safely pervades not only heaven, but hell.
Thomas a Kempis
Happy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience
Thomas a Kempis
O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.
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
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
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
If you bear the cross unwillingly, you make it a burden, and load yourself more heavily but you must bear it.
Thomas a Kempis
Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.
Thomas a Kempis
Some people are tempted most strongly at the beginning of their spiritual life, others near the end. Some are troubled all their lives. Still others receive only light temptation. Such things are decided by God, and we can trust his wisdom.
Thomas a Kempis
If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.
Thomas a Kempis
No man doth safely rule, but he that hath learned gladly to obey.
Thomas a Kempis
Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace.
Thomas a Kempis
All is vanity but to love God and serve Him.
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
Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor? [Lat., Cur quaeris quietem, quam natus sis ad laborem?]
Thomas a Kempis
Thy peace shall be in much patience.
Thomas a Kempis
All earthly joy begins pleasantly, but at the end it gnaws and kills.
Thomas a Kempis
Praise adds nothing to your holiness, nor does blame take anything from it. You are what you are, and you cannot be said to be better than you are in God's sight.
Thomas a Kempis
