More quotes by 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
Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
Thou shalt ever joy at eventide if thou spend the day fruitfully.
Thomas a Kempis
To be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with such as go contrary to us, is a great grace.
Thomas a Kempis
Anyone who thinks hard work will never hurt you has never had to pay to have it done. Jesus now has many lovers of his Heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of his cross.
Thomas a Kempis
No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.
Thomas a Kempis
The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.
Thomas a Kempis
Praise adds nothing to your holiness, nor does blame take anything from it. You are what you are, and you cannot be said to be better than you are in God's sight.
Thomas a Kempis
The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly.
Thomas a Kempis
No one is qualified to converse in public except those contented to do without such conversation.
Thomas a Kempis
Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.
Thomas a Kempis
Man sees your actions, but God your motives.
Thomas a Kempis
No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.
Thomas a Kempis
You are a man, not God you are human, not an angel. How can you expect to remain always in a constant state of virtue, when this was not possible even for an angel of Heaven, nor for the first man in the Garden?
Thomas a Kempis
If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
Thomas a Kempis
Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.
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
Man proposes, but God disposes.
Thomas a Kempis
Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
Thomas a Kempis
Know all and you will pardon all.
Thomas a Kempis
