Thomas a Kempis

Thomas a Kempis
If thou be not busy for thyself now, who shall be busy for thee in time to come?

Thomas a Kempis
The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.
Thomas a Kempis

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
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
It is better to feel repentance, than to be able to define it.
Thomas a Kempis
Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
By two wings a man is lifted up from things earthly: by simplicity and purity.
Thomas a Kempis
