Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness.

O Lord God, I see that patience is very necessary unto me; for many things in this life fall out contrary.

For they truly know their Lord in the breaking of bread, whose heart within them so vehemently burneth, whilst Thou, O blessed Jesus, dost walk and converse with them.

My Son, patience and humility in adversities are more pleasing to Me than much comfort and devotion in prosperity. - Thomas à Kempis
