Quote
Kempis, Netherlands
In silence and in stillness a devout soul maketh progress, and learneth the mysteries of Holy Scripture.
The fashion of this world passeth away and I would fain occupy myself with the things that are abiding.
To account nothing of one’s self, and to think always kindly and highly of others, this is great and perfect wisdom.
Marcus Aurelius·180 ADDo not act as if thou wert going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over thee. While thou livest, while it is in thy power, be good.
Marcus Aurelius·180 ADNot to live as if you had endless years ahead of you. Death overshadows you. While you're alive and able—be good.
Thomas à KempisHappy is the man who hath the hour of his death always before his eyes, and daily prepareth himself to die.
