More quotes by 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
Trust not to friends and kindred, neither do thou put off the care of thy soul's welfare til hereafter for men will sooner forget thee than thou art aware of.
Thomas a Kempis
Grant me prudently to avoid him that flatters me, and to endure patiently him that contradicts me.
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
If thou wilt receive profit, read with humility, simplicity and faith, and seek not at any time the fame of being learned.
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
All His glory and beauty come from within, and there He delights to dwell, His visits there are frequent, His conversation sweet, His comforts refreshing and His peace passing all understanding.
Thomas a Kempis
If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.
Thomas a Kempis
Happy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience
Thomas a Kempis
Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.
Thomas a Kempis
Judge yourself and beware of passing judgement on others. In judging others we expend our energy to no purpose we are often mistaken and easily sin. But if we judge ourselves our labour is always to our profit.
Thomas a Kempis
The more the flesh is wasted by affliction, so much more is the Spirit strengthened by inward grace.
Thomas a Kempis
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
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
The measure of every man’s virtue is best revealed in time of adversity - adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.
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
Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor? [Lat., Cur quaeris quietem, quam natus sis ad laborem?]
Thomas a Kempis
The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.
Thomas a Kempis
God evaluates by this criterion: How much love you invest in what you do is more important than how you do. The one who loves much is actually the one who does much.
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.
