More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux

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
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

Bernard of Clairvaux
The true measure of loving God is to love him without measure.
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
Learn the lesson that, if you are to do the work of a prophet, what you need is not a sceptre but a hoe.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The more I contemplate God, the more God looks on me. The more I pray to him, the more he thinks of me too.
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
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
True love does not demand a reward, but it deserves one.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Understanding is the sure and clear knowledge of some invisible thing.
Bernard of Clairvaux
All things are possible to one who believes.
Bernard of Clairvaux
What I know of the divine science and holy scripture, I learnt in the woods and fields.
Bernard of Clairvaux
