Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

All therefore is vanity, save to love God and to serve Him only. .

Be not lifted up because of thy strength or beauty of body, for with only a slight sickness it will fail and wither away. Be not vain of thy skilfulness or ability, lest thou displease God, from whom cometh every good gift which we have.

Of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.
