More From Thomas A Kempis

The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. we hate others when we hate ourselves. we are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. we forgive others when we forgive ourselves. we are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
Love Forgiveness Attitude
Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion - and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while truth again reverts to a new minority.
Workout Truth Inspiration
If god, in the christmas mystery, reveals himself not as one who remains on high and dominates the universe, but as the one who bends down, descends to the little and poor earth, it means that, to be like him, we should not put ourselves above others, but indeed lower ourselves, place ourselves at the service of others, become small with the small and poor with the poor. it is regrettable to see a christian who does not want to lower himself, who does not want to serve. a christian who struts about is ugly: this is not christian, it is pagan.
Christian Nice Mean
We would willingly have others perfect, and yet we amend not our own faults. we would have others severely corrected and will not be corrected ourselves. the large liberty of others displeases us, and yet we will not have our own desires denied us. we will have others kept under by strict laws, but in no sort will ourselves be restrained. and thus it appears how seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
Law Perfect Balance
Occupy yourself in beholding and bewailing your own imperfections rather than contemplating the imperfections of others.
Occupy Yourself Imperfection Contemplating
The more seriously we work on our own imperfections, the less we are judgemental of the imperfections of others.

One... gets an impression that civilization is something which was imposed on a resisting majority by a minority which understood how to obtain possession of the means to power and coercion. it is, of course, natural to assume that these difficulties are not inherent in the nature of civilization itself but are determined by the imperfections of the cultural forms which have so far been developed.

Without imperfection, you or i would not exist.
