He who shunneth not small faults falleth little by little into greater.
Thomas à KempisTwo things specially avail unto improvement in holiness, namely firmness to withdraw ourselves from the sin to which by nature we are most inclined, and earnest zeal for that good in which we are most lacking.
Thomas à KempisTo-day man is, and to-morrow he will be seen no more. And being removed out of sight, quickly also he is out of mind.

Thou oughtest in every deed and thought so to order thyself, as if thou wert to die this day.

Thomas à KempisO quam salubre, quam iucundum et suave est sedere in solitudine et tacere et loqui cum Deo!
