Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

He is truly great that is great in charity. He is truly great that is little in himself, and maketh no account of any height of honor. And he is truly learned that doeth the will of God, and forsaketh his own will.

. . . do with me what Thou wilt, for whatsoever Thou shalt do with me cannot be aught but good. Blessed be Thou if Thou wilt leave me in darkness:

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

Grant that I may die to all worldly things, and for Thy sake love to be despised and unknown in this world. - Thomas à Kempis
