More quotes by 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
He rightly reads scripture who turns words into deeds.
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
The measure of love is love without measure.
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
To serve Mary is a mark of eternal salvation to come.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Love me, love my dog.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Theirs is an endless road, a hopeless maze, who seek for goods before they seek for God.
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
Among us on the earth there is His memory but in the Kingdom of heaven His very Presence. That Presence is the joy of those who have already attained to beatitude the memory is the comfort of us who are still wayfarers, journeying towards the Fatherland.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Jesus to me is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, a song in the heart.
Bernard of Clairvaux
God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.
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
Vines and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The true measure of loving God is to love him without measure.
Bernard of Clairvaux
If anyone makes himself his own master in the spiritual life, he makes himself scholar to a fool.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Humility in furs is better than pride in tunics.
Bernard of Clairvaux
He won me over entirely by giving Himself entirely to me.
Bernard of Clairvaux
It is a fault, not a virtue, to wish your humility recognized and applauded.
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
