More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Christ willed to suffer and be despised and do you dare complain of the same? Christ had adversaries and backbiters and do you wish to have all men your friends and benefactors? When shall your patience attain her crown if no adversity befalls you? If you are willing to suffer naught that is against you, how will you be the friend of Christ?
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
Simplicity reaches out after God purity discovers and enjoys Him.
Thomas a Kempis
The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
Thomas a Kempis
Cling, therefore, to Jesus in life and death trust yourself to the glory of Him who alone can help you when all others fail.
Thomas a Kempis
Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.
Thomas a Kempis
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
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
Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.
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
No man doth safely rule, but he that hath learned gladly to obey.
Thomas a Kempis
No one is so good that he is immune from temptation. We will never be entirely free from it. . . . There is no order so holy, no place so secret where there will be no temptation.
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
Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.
Thomas a Kempis
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
Let temporal things serve thy use, but the eternal be the object of thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis
Know all and you will pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
Therefore, a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men.
Thomas a Kempis
When comfort is withdrawn, do not be cast down, but humbly and patiently await the visitation of God. He is able and powerful to give you more grace and more spiritual comfort than you first had.
Thomas a Kempis
In the morning fix thy good purpose and at night examine thyself what thou hast done, how thou hast behaved thyself in word, deed, and thought.
Thomas a Kempis
