Danh ngôn của Thomas a Kempis (Sứ mệnh: 6)

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.
Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
Man proposes, but God disposes.
The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.
He will easily be content and at peace, whose conscience is pure.
All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it.
Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.
What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?
He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.
Without the way, there is no going; without the truth, there is no knowing; without the life, there is no living.
Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.
But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.
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.
A humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
