Thomas a Kempis
If thou desire to profit, read with humility, simplicity, and faithfulness; nor even desire the repute of learning.
Kempis quotes
Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.
Kempis
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.




Kempis Thomas a quotes
If thou seek rest in this life, how wilt them then attain to the everlasting rest? Dispose not thyself for much rest, but for great patience. Seek true peace — not in earth, but in heaven; not in men, nor in any other creature, but in God alone.
