Thomas a Kempis Crosses Quotations

If you cast away one cross, you will certainly find another, and perhaps a heavier.

If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.

Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness.

If you bear the cross unwillingly, you make it a burden, and load yourself more heavily; but you must bear it.

Salvation by the cross. [Lat., In cruce salus.]

If you carry your cross joyfully, it will carry you.
