Therefore, a man ought to root...

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.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Of two evils, the lesser must always be chosen De duobus malis, minus est semper eligendum

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Anyone who is not totally dead...

Anyone who is not totally dead to himself will soon find that he is tempted and overcome by piddling and frivolous things. Whoever is weak in spirit, given to the flesh and inclined to sensual things can, but only with great difficulty, drag himself away from his earthly desires. Therefore he is often gloomy and sad when he is trying to pull himself away from them, and easily gives way to anger should someone attempt to oppose him.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

For it is the grace of Christ,...

For it is the grace of Christ, and not our own virtue, that gives us the power to overcome the flesh and the world.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Leave off that excessive desir...

Leave off that excessive desire of knowing; therein is found much distraction. There are many things the knowledge of which is of little or no profit to the soul.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Every man naturally desires kn...

Every man naturally desires knowledge; but what good is knowledge without fear of God? Indeed a humble rustic who serves God is better than a proud intellectual who neglects his soul to study the course of the stars.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

In the morning fix thy good pu...

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.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

If you would endeavor, like me...

If you would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from heaven. For he who give the us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Gladly we desire to make other...

Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

Grace is the mastery of truth,...

Grace is the mastery of truth, the teacher of discipline, the light of the heart, the comforter of affliction, the banisher of sorrow, the nurse of devotion.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

No man is without his load of trouble.

Thomas Kempis 435 quotes

You will never be an inwardly ...

You will never be an inwardly religious and devout man unless you pass over in silence the shortcomings of your fellow men, and diligently examine your own weaknesses.

No man is safe above but he th...

No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.
