Whatsoever is done in charity, however small and of no reputation it be, bringeth forth good fruit.
Thomas a KempisLove flies, runs, leaps for joy; it is free and unrestrained. Love gives all for all, resting in One who is highest above all things, from whom every good flows and proceeds. Love does not regard the gifts, but turns to the Giver of all good gifts. Love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds. Love feels no burden, takes no account of toil, attempts things beyond its strength; love sees nothing as impossible, for it feels able to achieve all things. Love therefore does great things; it is strange and effective; while he who lacks love faints and fails.
Thomas a KempisToo many instances there are of daring men, who by presuming to sound the deep things of religion, have cavilled and argued themselves out of all religion.
Thomas a KempisThe reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.
Thomas a KempisIf you seek Jesus in all things you will surely find Jesus. And if you seek yourself, you will surely find yourself, but only to your ruin.
Thomas a KempisJesus has many who love the kingdom of God, but few who bear a cross. He has many who desire His comfort, but few who desire His suffering. All want to rejoice with him, but few are willing to suffer for Him. He writes; there are many who admire his miracles, but there are few who follow in the humiliation of the cross.
