More quotes by Thomas a Kempis
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Thomas a Kempis
The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.
Thomas a Kempis
It carries a burden which is no burden it will not be kept back by anything low and mean it desires to be free from all wordly affections, and not to be entangled by any outward prosperity, or by any adversity subdued.
Thomas a Kempis
How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
Thomas a Kempis
My child, it will be better for you if you accept my decisions without complaint. Do not ask me to defend my actions or to explain why one person is favored and another seems slighted. The answers to these questions go far beyond your comprehension.
Thomas a Kempis
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
Thomas a Kempis
He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.
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
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
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
To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection.
Thomas a Kempis
The end of all is death and man's life passeth away suddenly as a shadow.
Thomas a Kempis
Do not let your peace depend on what people say of you... True peace and joy is to be found in [Jesus] alone.
Thomas a Kempis
O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.
Thomas a Kempis
If thou hadst a good conscience thou wouldst not greatly fear death.
Thomas a Kempis
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
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
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
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
Thomas a Kempis
