“If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.”
― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

“He is not truly patient who will only suffer as far as seems right to him and from whom he pleases. The truly patient man considers not by whom he is tried, one above him, or by an equal, or by an inferior, whether by a good and holy man or by a perverse and unworthy, but from every creature. He gratefully accepts all from the hand of God and counts it gain.”
― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

“It is not really a small thing when in small things we resist self.”
― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

“Wherever you go, there you are.”
― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
