Trust not to friends and kindred, neither do thou put off the care of thy soul's welfare til hereafter; for men will sooner forget thee than thou art aware of.
Thomas a KempisThe measure of every manโs virtue is best revealed in time of adversity - adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.
Thomas a KempisLearned arguments do not make a man holy and righteous, whereas a good life makes him dear to God.
Thomas a KempisStudy to do another's will rather than thine own. Choose ever to have less rather than more. Seek ever the lower place and to be subject to all; ever wish and pray that the will of God may be perfectly done in thee and in all. Behold such a man enters the bounds of peace and calm.
