Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

O Lord, self-renunciation is not the work of one day, nor children's sport; yea, rather in this word is included all perfection.

Grant that I may die to all worldly things, and for Thy sake love to be despised and unknown in this world.

Thou art none the holier if thou art praised, nor the viler if thou art reproached. Thou art what thou art; and thou canst not be better than God pronounceth thee to be.

Thou oughtest in every deed and thought so to order thyself, as if thou wert to die this day. - Thomas à Kempis
