More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
Nothing can work me damage except myself. The harm that I sustain I carry about with me, and never am a real sufferer but by my own fault.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Vines and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.
Bernard of Clairvaux
My burden is light, said the blessed Redeemer, a light burden indeed, which carries him that bears it. I have looked through all nature for a resemblance of this, and seem to find a shadow of it in the wings of a bird, which are indeed borne by the creature, and yet support her flight towards heaven.
Bernard of Clairvaux
there are four degrees of love: 1) Love of self for self's sake. 2) Love of God for self's sake. 3) Love of God for God's own sake. 4) Love of self for God's sake.
Bernard of Clairvaux
It is a fault, not a virtue, to wish your humility recognized and applauded.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Understanding is the sure and clear knowledge of some invisible thing.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The measure of love is love without measure.
Bernard of Clairvaux
I know by myself how incomprehensible God is, seeing I cannot comprehend the parts of my own being.
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
Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!
Bernard of Clairvaux
Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The three most important virtues are humility, humility, and humility.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Let us then cast ourselves at the feet of this good Mother, and embracing them let us not depart until she blesses us, and accepts us for her children.
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
All things are possible to one who believes.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Thus understanding and love, that is, the knowledge of and delight in the truth, are, as it were, the two arms of the soul, with which it embraces and comprehends with all the saints the length and breath, the height and depth, that is the eternity, the love, the goodness, and the wisdom of God.
Bernard of Clairvaux
When God forgives a sinner who humbly confesses his sin, the devil loses his dominion over the heart he had taken.
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
True love does not demand a reward, but it deserves one.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The tears of those repenting are the wine of angels.
Bernard of Clairvaux
