A book has but one vioce, but it does not instruct everyone alike.Thomas Kempis
Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.
Thomas Kempis
In judging others a man laboreth in vain he often erreth, and easily falleth into sin but in judging and examining himself he always laboreth to good purpose
Thomas Kempis
We are often moved with passion and think it to be zeal.
Thomas Kempis
FIRST keep thyself in peace, and then shalt thou be able to be a peacemaker towards others. A peaceable man doth more good than a well-learned. A passionate man turneth even good into evil and easily believeth evil a good, peaceable man converteth all things into good. He who dwelleth in peace is suspicious of none, but he who is discontented and restless is tossed with many suspicions, and is neither quiet himself nor suffereth others to be quiet. He often saith what he ought not to say, and omitteth what it were more expedient for him to do. He considereth to what duties others are bound, and neglecteth those to which he is bound himself. Therefore be zealous first over thyself, and then mayest thou righteously be zealous concerning thy neighbour.
Thomas Kempis
