More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
Who loves me will love my dog also.
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
You wish to see listen. Hearing is a step toward Vision.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The three most important virtues are humility, humility, and humility.
Bernard of Clairvaux
God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.
Bernard of Clairvaux
What I know of the divine science and holy scripture, I learnt in the woods and fields.
Bernard of Clairvaux
To serve Mary is a mark of eternal salvation to come.
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
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
From the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to Thee again.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The tears of those repenting are the wine of angels.
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
Our King [Jesus] is accused of treachery it is said of him [by the Muslims] that he is not God, but that he falsely pretended to be something he was not.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Therefore gird yourselves manfully and take up joyful arms for the name of God.
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
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
What of the souls already released from their bodies? We believe that they are overwhelmed in that vast sea of eternal light and of luminous eternity
Bernard of Clairvaux
All things are possible to one who believes.
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
If anyone makes himself his own master in the spiritual life, he makes himself scholar to a fool.
Bernard of Clairvaux
