If you wish to live in peace and harmony with others, you must learn to discipline yourself in many ways.
Thomas a KempisIt thou seek rest in this life, how wilt thou then attain to the everlasting rest? Dispose not thyself for much rest, but for great patience. Seek true peace--not in earth, but in heaven; not in men, nor in any other creature, but in God alone.
Thomas a KempisLove is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.
Thomas a KempisIn the Cross is salvation; in the Cross is life; in the Cross is protection against our enemies; in the Cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the Cross is strength of mind; in the Cross is joy of spirit; in the Cross is excellence of virtue; in the Cross is perfection of holiness. There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the Cross.
Thomas a Kempis
