More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
From the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to Thee again.
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
The heart of Christ can be seen through the openings of his wounds. For what can prove to me so clearly as your wounds that you, O Lord Jesus, are sweet & mild & plenteous in mercy.
Bernard of Clairvaux
True love does not demand a reward, but it deserves one.
Bernard of Clairvaux
There are some who wish to learn for no other reason than that they may be looked upon as learned, which is ridiculous vanity ... Others desire to learn that they may morally instruct others, that is love. And, lastly, there are some who wish to learn that they may be themselves edified and that is prudence.
Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux
Let no one believe that he has received the divine kiss, if he knows the truth without loving it or loves it without understanding it. But blessed is that kiss whereby not only is God recognized but also the Father is loved for there is never full knowledge without perfect love.
Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux
Prayer is a virtue that prevaileth against all temptations.
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
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
We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable.
Bernard of Clairvaux
You wish to see listen. Hearing is a step toward Vision.
Bernard of Clairvaux
He rightly reads scripture who turns words into deeds.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Prayer is a wine which makes glad the heart of man
Bernard of Clairvaux
God will become visible as God's image is reborn in you.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Death is the gate of life.
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
