Thomas a Kempis Quotes About Liberty

Quotes about: Liberty

• 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.

  Thomas a Kempis

  Law, Perfect, Balance

• Love wakes much and sleeps little and, in sleeping, does not sleep. It faints is not weary; it is restricted in its liberty and is great freedom. It sees reasons to fear and does not fear, but, like an ember or a spark of fire, flames always upward, by the fervor of its love, toward God, and through the special help of grace is delivered from all perils and dangers

  Thomas a Kempis

  Sleep, Fire, Flames

• At the day of judgment we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done.
