Thomas a KempisSimplicity is the intention, purity in the affection; simplicity turns to God, purity unites with and enjoys him.
Thomas a KempisForasmuch 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 KempisO Lord, you know what is best for me. Let this or that be done, as you please. Give what you will, how much you will, and when you will.
Thomas a Kempis
