Additional quotes by Thomas à Kempis

Know thou that the love of thyself is more hurtful to thee than anything in the world.

If thou think wholly upon thyself and upon God, what thou seest out of doors shall move thee little.

But they that are perfect, do not give ready heed to every news-bearer, for they know man’s weakness that it is prone to evil and unstable in words.
