Quotes from Thomas a Kempis

No one can obtain from the Pope a dispensation for never dying. [Lat., Nemo impetrare potest a papa bullam numquam moriendi.]

Count not thyself to have found true peace, if thou hast felt no grief; nor that then all is well if thou hast no adversary; nor that this is perfect, if all things fall out according to thy desire.

Sweet shall be your rest if your heart does not reproach you.

Nothing, how little so ever it be, if it is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.

Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.

Know all and you will pardon all.
