More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.
Thomas a Kempis
Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.
Thomas a Kempis
Leave off that excessive desire of knowing therein is found much distraction. There are many things the knowledge of which is of little or no profit to the soul.
Thomas a Kempis
Let temporal things serve thy use, but the eternal be the object of thy desire.
Thomas a Kempis
The end of all is death and man's life passeth away suddenly as a shadow.
Thomas a Kempis
If you wish to live in peace and harmony with others, you must learn to discipline yourself in many ways.
Thomas a Kempis
Oh, how quickly the world's glory passes away.
Thomas a Kempis
A humble knowledge of ourselves is a surer way to God than is the search for depth of learning.
Thomas a Kempis
Out of sight, out of mind. The absent are always in the wrong.
Thomas a Kempis
Man considers the actions, but God weighs the intentions.
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
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
Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace.
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
We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.
Thomas a Kempis
It is thy duty often times to do what thou wouldst not thy duty too, to leave undone that thou wouldst do.
Thomas a Kempis
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
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
We feel and weigh soon enough what we suffer from others: but how much others suffer from us, of this we take no heed.
Thomas a Kempis
