Too many instances there are o...

Too many instances there are of daring men, who by presuming to sound the deep things of religion, have cavilled and argued themselves out of all religion.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Restrain an inordinate desire ...

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 Kempis 435 quotes

Oh how swiftly the glory of th...

Oh how swiftly the glory of the world passes away! If only the lives of these men had been as admirable as their learning, their study and reading would have been to good purpose! But how many in this world care little for the service of God, and perish in their vain learning. Because they choose to be great rather than humble, they perish in their own conceit.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.

Carefully avoid in yourself those things which distrub you in others.

Be thankful for the smallest blessing, and you will be worthy to receive greater.

I can take credit for only two things: pride and sin.

Temptations discover what you ...

Temptations discover what you are.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Let not therefore thy heart be...

Let not therefore thy heart be troubled, neither let it fear. Trust in me, and put thy confidence in my mercy. When thou thinkest thyself farthest off from me, oftentimes I am nearest unto thee. When thou countest almost all to be lost, then oftentimes the greatest gain of reward is close at hand. All is not lost, when any thing falleth out contrary. Thou oughtest not to judge according to present feeling; nor so to take any grief, or give thyself over to it.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Ah, Lord God, thou holy lover ...

Ah, Lord God, thou holy lover of my soul, when thou comest into my heart, all that is within me shall rejoice.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Be thankful for the smallest b...

Be thankful for the smallest blessing and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest, and simple graces as especial favors. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean.

For man plans, but God arranges.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

My God, Sweetness beyond words...

My God, Sweetness beyond words, make bitter all the carnal comfort that draws me from love of the eternal and lures me to its evil self by the sight of some delightful good in the present. Let it not overcome me, my God. Let not flesh and blood conquer me. Let not the world and its brief glory deceive me, nor the devil trip me by his craftiness. Give me courage to resist, patience to endure, and constancy to persevere. Give me the soothing unction of Your spirit rather than all the consolations of the world, and in pla

Therefore, a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Jesus has many who love the ki...

Jesus has many who love the kingdom of God, but few who bear a cross. He has many who desire His comfort, but few who desire His suffering. All want to rejoice with him, but few are willing to suffer for Him. He writes; there are many who admire his miracles, but there are few who follow in the humiliation of the cross.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Nothing, how little so ever it...

Nothing, how little so ever it be, if it is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Love is a great thing...which ...

Love is a great thing...which alone maketh every burden light.. Love is watchful, and while sleeping, still keeps watch; though fatigued, it is not weary; though pressed, it is not forced. Love is sincere, gentle, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, and manly. Love is humble and upright, not weak, not fickle, nor intent on vain things; sober chaste, steadfast, quiet, and guarded in all the senses.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

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 Kempis 435 quotes

Some people are tempted most s...

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 Kempis 435 quotes

No one is so good that he is i...

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.
