Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

In the morning make thy resolves, and in the evening inquire into thy life, how thou hast sped to-day in word, deed, and thought;

For if he who resolveth bravely oftentimes falleth short, how shall it be with him who resolveth rarely or feebly?

Happy is the man who hath the hour of his death always before his eyes, and daily prepareth himself to die.

For a little reward men make a long journey; for eternal life many will scarce lift a foot once from the ground. - Thomas à Kempis
