Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

Simplicity and purity are the two wings by which a man is lifted above all earthly things. Simplicity is in the intention; purity in the affection. Simplicity tends to God; purity apprehends and tastes Him.

Fear God and thou shalt not quail before the terrors of men.

Choose for thy companions God and His Angels only, and flee from the notice of men.

Peace is ever with the humble man, but in the heart of the proud there is envy and continual wrath. - Thomas à Kempis
