Thomas A Kempis quotes

He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.

Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.

Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.

Man proposes, but God disposes.

A humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.

A humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.

Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.

The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.

He will easily be content and at peace, whose conscience is pure.

Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.

Without the way, there is no going; without the truth, there is no knowing; without the life, there is no living.

All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it.

Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.

A humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
