More From Thomas A Kempis

It thou seek rest in this life, how wilt thou then attain to the everlasting rest? dispose not thyself for much rest, but for great patience. seek true peace--not in earth, but in heaven; not in men, nor in any other creature, but in god alone.

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.

Thyself and thy belongings are not thine own so proper, as to waste thyself upon thy virtues, they on thee. heaven doth with us as we with torches do, not light them for themselves; for if our virtues did not go forth of us 't were all alike as if we had them not. spirits are not finely touch'd but to fine issues; nor nature never lends the smallest scruple of her excellence, but, like a thrifty goddess, she determines herself the glory of a creditor - both thanks and use.

At times the whole sky was ringed in shooting points and puckers of light gathering and falling, pulsing, fading, rhythmical as breathing. all of a piece. as if the sky were a pattern of nerves and our thought and memories traveled across it. as if the sky were one gigantic memory for us all.

Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it, while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill. the consequence of pessimism in the life of a nation is the same as in the life of the individual. pessimism kills the instinct that urges men to struggle against poverty, ignorance and crime, and dries up all the fountains of joy in the world.
