More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
Prayer is a wine which makes glad the heart of man
Bernard of Clairvaux
Let us affectionately love His angels as counselors and defenders appointed by the Father and placed over us. They are faithful they are prudent they are powerful Let us only follow them, let us remain close to them, and in the protection of the God of heaven let us abide.
Bernard of Clairvaux
He won me over entirely by giving Himself entirely to me.
Bernard of Clairvaux
I know by myself how incomprehensible God is, seeing I cannot comprehend the parts of my own being.
Bernard of Clairvaux
If anyone makes himself his own master in the spiritual life, he makes himself scholar to a fool.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The three most important virtues are humility, humility, and humility.
Bernard of Clairvaux
For I have learnt for a fact that nothing so effectively obtains, retains and regains grace, as that we should always be found not high-minded before God, but filled with holy fear.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Love me, love my dog.
Bernard of Clairvaux
It is a fault, not a virtue, to wish your humility recognized and applauded.
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
Death is the gate of life.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The tears of those repenting are the wine of angels.
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
All things are possible to one who believes.
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
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
Inordinate love for the flesh is cruelty, because under the appearance of pleasing the body, we kill the soul.
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
If you would know whether you have made a good confession, ask yourself I you have resolved to abandon your sins.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens.
Bernard of Clairvaux
