More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
From the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to Thee again.
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
It was love that motivated His self-emptying, that led Him to become a little lower than angels, to be subject to parents, to bow His head beneath the Baptist's hands, to endure the weakness of the flesh, and to submit to death even upon the cross
Bernard of Clairvaux
The tears of those repenting are the wine of angels.
Bernard of Clairvaux
If anyone makes himself his own master in the spiritual life, he makes himself scholar to a fool.
Bernard of Clairvaux
You wish to see listen. Hearing is a step toward Vision.
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
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 to me is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, a song in the heart.
Bernard of Clairvaux
If then you are wise, you will show yourself rather as a reservoir than as a canal. For a canal spreads abroad water as it receives it, but a reservoir waits until it is filled before overflowing, and thus communicates, without loss to itself, its superabundant water. In the Church at the present day, we have many canals, few reservoirs.
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
And truly, O man, if you concentrate hard on the state you are in it will be surprising if you have time for anything else.
Bernard of Clairvaux
True love does not demand a reward, but it deserves one.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Death is the gate of life.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The true measure of loving God is to love him without measure.
Bernard of Clairvaux
God will become visible as God's image is reborn in you.
Bernard of Clairvaux
He rightly reads scripture who turns words into deeds.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!
Bernard of Clairvaux
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.
Bernard of Clairvaux
