Bernard of Clairvaux

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
True penance consists in regretting without ceasing the faults of the past, and in firmly resolving to never again commit that which is so deplorable.
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
I know by myself how incomprehensible God is, seeing I cannot comprehend the parts of my own being.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Your actions in passing, pass not away, for every good work is a grain of seed for eternal life.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Prayer is a virtue that prevaileth against all temptations.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Humility in furs is better than pride in tunics.
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
Learn first to love yourself, and then you can love me.
Bernard of Clairvaux
