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
Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!
Bernard of Clairvaux
Let no one believe that he has received the divine kiss, if he knows the truth without loving it or loves it without understanding it. But blessed is that kiss whereby not only is God recognized but also the Father is loved for there is never full knowledge without perfect love.
Bernard of Clairvaux
All things are possible to one who believes.
Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux
It is a fault, not a virtue, to wish your humility recognized and applauded.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Action and contemplation are very close companions they live together in one house on equal terms. Martha and Mary are sisters.
Bernard of Clairvaux
He won me over entirely by giving Himself entirely to me.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Therefore gird yourselves manfully and take up joyful arms for the name of God.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Many of those who are humiliated are not humble. Some react to humiliation with anger, others with patience, and others with freedom. The first are culpable, the next harmless, the last just.
Bernard of Clairvaux
God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.
Bernard of Clairvaux
My child, seek those things which make for peace. Cease to stir up the King against the Church, and urge upon him a better course of action. If you will promise to do this, I in return promise to entreat the merciful Lord to grant you offspring.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The more I contemplate God, the more God looks on me. The more I pray to him, the more he thinks of me too.
Bernard of Clairvaux
