Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

Without the Way,
there is no going,
Without the Truth,
there is no knowing,
Without the Life,
there is no living.

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.

Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.

The proud and the avaricious man are never at rest; while the poor and lowly of heart abide in the multitude of peace. - Thomas à Kempis
