Forasmuch as many people study more to have knowledge than to live well therefore ofttimes they err and bring forth little fruit or none.
Thomas a KempisA man is hindered and distracted in proportion as he draws outward things to himself.
Thomas a KempisPraise adds nothing to your holiness, nor does blame take anything from it. You are what you are, and you cannot be said to be better than you are in God's sight.
Thomas a Kempis
