More From Thomas A Kempis

Antiquity! thou wondrous charm, what art thou? that being nothing art everything? when thou wert, thou wert not antiquity - then thou wert nothing, but hadst a remoter antiquity, as thou calledst it, to look back to with blind veneration; thou thyself being to thyself flat, jejune, modern! what mystery lurks in this retroversion? or what half januses are we, that cannot look forward with the same idolatry with which we for ever revert! the mighty future is as nothing, being everything! the past is everything, being nothing!
Art Past Looks
What is thy thought? there is no miracle? there is a great one, which thou hast not read, and never shalt escape. thyself, o man, thou art the miracle. ay, thou thyself, being in the world and of the world, thyself, hast breathed in breath from him that made the world. thou art thy father's copy of himself,-- thou art thy father's miracle.

O lord, thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as thou shalt please. give what thou wilt, how much thou wilt, and when thou wilt. deal with me as thou thinkest best. place me where thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as thou wilt. behold, i am thy servant, prepared for all things: i desire not to live unto myself, but unto thee; and oh, that i could do it worthily and perfectly!
Giving Justice Preparation
Sin! sin! thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which god hates. and what wonder? thou hast insulted his holy majesty; thou hast bereaved him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the son of his infinite love; thou hast vexed his gracious spirit; thou hast defied his power; thou hast despised his grace; and in the body and blood of jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot his matchless mercy. surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.
Jesus Art Children
Grief! thou art classed amongst the depressing passions. and true it is that thou humblest to the dust, but also thou exaltest to the clouds. thou shakest us with ague, but also thou steadiest like frost. thou sickenest the heart, but also thou healest its infirmities.
Depressing Art Grief
The way to subject all things to thyself is to subject thyself to reason; thou shalt govern many, if reason govern thee. wouldst thou be crowned the monarch of a little world? command thyself.

The 'gatekeepers' became a term of revile. but when you think about the flow of information, i personally value immensely the calibration a news organ, whether it's on the web or in print, brings to the floodwaters of information. i haven't the time to read all the dispatches of the associated press, for example. it's fantastic what they put out, it's extremely good, from all over the world. i like when someone acts as a filter.
