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. |
| Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault. |
| Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise not blame. |
| He has great tranquillity of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men. |
| He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver |
| He will easily be content and at peace, whose conscience is pure |
| How quickly passes away the glory of this world |
| How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves |
| How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves |
| I have no rest, but in a nook, with the Book |
| If the truth shall have made thee free, thou shalt not care for the vain words of men |
| If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking? |
| 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 |
| In the holy Scriptures, truth is to be looked for rather than fair phrases |
| Influence may be the highest level of human skills |
