Thomas a KempisA man that is well ordered in his soul needeth little the unkind demeanor of worldly people nor yet their proud behavior.
Thomas a KempisHe does much who loves God much, and he does much who does his deed well, and he does his deed well who does it rather for the common good than for his own will.
Thomas a KempisYou will never be an inwardly religious and devout man unless you pass over in silence the shortcomings of your fellow men, and diligently examine your own weaknesses.
