Spiritual Quote of the Day (Thomas a Kempis, on ‘A Peaceful Man’)

“First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others. A peaceful man does more good than a learned man. Whereas a passionate man turns even good to evil and is quick to believe evil, the peaceful man, being good himself, turns all things to good.”— German mystic and ecclesiastic Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471), Imitation of Christ (ca. 1418-1427)
