Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

At the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done; not how well we have spoken, but how holily we have lived.

All is not frustrated, though thou find thyself very often afflicted or grievously tempted. Thou art man, not God; thou art flesh, not an angel.

What is all flesh in Thy sight? For how shall the clay boast against Him that fashioned it?

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