Count not thyself to have found true peace, if thou hast felt no grief; nor that then all is well if thou hast no adversary; nor that this is perfect, if all things fall out according to thy desire.

A sure way of retaining the grace of heaven is to disregard outward appearances, and diligently to cultivate such things as foster amendment of life and fervour of soul, rather than to cultivate those qualities that seem most popular.

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 Kempis 435 quotes

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 Kempis 435 quotes

Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Thought thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

The good devout man first makes inner preparation for the actions he has later to perform. His outward actions do not draw him into lust and vice; rather it is he who bends them into the shape of reason and right judgement. Who has a stiffer battle to fight than the man who is striving to conquer himself.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Simplicity is the intention, p...

Simplicity is the intention, purity in the affection; simplicity turns to God, purity unites with and enjoys him.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

At the day of judgment we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

When comfort is withdrawn, do not be cast down, but humbly and patiently await the visitation of God. He is able and powerful to give you more grace and more spiritual comfort than you first had.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Wherever you go, you will always bear yourself about with you, and so you will always find yourself.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Whoever finds Jesus, finds a rich treasure, and a good above every good. He who loses Jesus loses much indeed, and more than the whole world. Poorest of all is he who lives without Jesus, and richest of all is he who stands in favor with Jesus.
