More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
My burden is light, said the blessed Redeemer, a light burden indeed, which carries him that bears it.

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

Bernard of Clairvaux
Wherever...thou shalt be, pray secretly within thyself. If thou shalt be far from a house of prayer, give not thyself trouble to seek for one, for thou thyself art a sanctuary designed for prayer. If thou shalt be in bed, or in any other place, pray there thy temple is there.
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
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
Who loves me will love my dog also.
Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux
We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us.
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
True love does not demand a reward, but it deserves one.
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
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
Theirs is an endless road, a hopeless maze, who seek for goods before they seek for God.
Bernard of Clairvaux
