Thomas à Kempis

If thou canst not make thyself such an one as thou wouldst, how canst thou expect to have another in all things to thy liking?

Thomas à Kempis

What canst thou see elsewhere which thou canst not see here? Behold the heaven and the earth and all the elements; for of these are all things created.

Thomas à Kempis

At the least bear patiently, if thou canst not joyfully.

Thomas à Kempis

What thou art, that thou art; that God knoweth thee to be and thou canst be said to be no greater.
