Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

What is it then? That having given up all things besides, he give up himself and go forth from himself utterly, and retain nothing of self-love; and having done all things which he knoweth to be his duty to do, that he feel that he hath done nothing.

How can he abide long time in peace who occupieth himself with other men’s matters, and with things without himself, and meanwhile payeth little or rare heed to the self within?

No man ruleth safely but that he is willingly ruled.

There is no man in the world free from trouble or anguish, though he were King or Pope. - Thomas à Kempis
