More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!
Bernard of Clairvaux
There are some who wish to learn for no other reason than that they may be looked upon as learned, which is ridiculous vanity ... Others desire to learn that they may morally instruct others, that is love. And, lastly, there are some who wish to learn that they may be themselves edified and that is prudence.
Bernard of Clairvaux
It is no great thing to be humble when you are brought low but to be humble when you are praised is a great and rare attainment.
Bernard of Clairvaux
I know by myself how incomprehensible God is, seeing I cannot comprehend the parts of my own being.
Bernard of Clairvaux
We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Death is the gate of life. Ingratitude is the soul's enemy... Ingratitude is a burning wind that dries up the source of love, the dew of mercy, the streams of grace. You will find something far greater in the woods than you will find in books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.
Bernard of Clairvaux
From the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to Thee again.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Understanding is the sure and clear knowledge of some invisible thing.
Bernard of Clairvaux
With her for guide, you shall never go astray while invoking her, you shall never lose heart so long as she is in your mind, you are safe from deception while she holds your hand, you cannot fall under her protection you have nothing to fear if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary if she shows you favor, you shall reach the goal.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The tears of those repenting are the wine of angels.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Vines and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.
Bernard of Clairvaux
A truly obedient man does not discriminate between one thing and another, since his only aim is to execute faithfully whatever may be assigned to him.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Learn first to love yourself, and then you can love me.
Bernard of Clairvaux
To serve Mary is a mark of eternal salvation to come.
Bernard of Clairvaux
God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Prayer is a virtue that prevaileth against all temptations.
Bernard of Clairvaux
There are three distinct comings of the Lord of which I know: His coming to men, His coming into men, and His coming against men.
Bernard of Clairvaux
It's not as if grace did one half of the work and free choice the other each does the whole work, in its own peculiar contribution. Grace does the whole work, and so does free choice - with this one qualification: That whereas the whole is done in free choice, so is the whole done of grace.
Bernard of Clairvaux
He won me over entirely by giving Himself entirely to me.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Learn the lesson that, if you are to do the work of a prophet, what you need is not a sceptre but a hoe.
Bernard of Clairvaux
