If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.
Thomas a KempisHe will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.
Thomas a KempisAnyone who thinks hard work will never hurt you has never had to pay to have it done. Jesus now has many lovers of his Heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of his cross.
Thomas a KempisA man that is well ordered in his soul needeth little the unkind demeanor of worldly people nor yet their proud behavior.
