Thomas a Kempis

"Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be."

"The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid."

"Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back."

"Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it."

"What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?"

"Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it."
