The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
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 KempisBodily exercises are to be done discreetly; not to be taken evenly and alike by all men.
Thomas a KempisO Lord, Thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as Thou shalt please. Give what Thou wilt, how much Thou wilt, and when Thou wilt. Deal with me as thou thinkest best. Place me where Thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as Thou wilt. Behold, I am Thy servant, prepared for all things: I desire not to live unto myself, but unto Thee; and oh, that I could do it worthily and perfectly!
Thomas a Kempis
