More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
Jesus to me is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, a song in the heart.
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
I know by myself how incomprehensible God is, seeing I cannot comprehend the parts of my own being.
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
Prayer is a virtue that prevaileth against all temptations.
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
Pride causes us to use our gifts as though they came from ourselves, not benefits received from God, and to usurp our benefactor's glory.
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
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
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
Understanding is the sure and clear knowledge of some invisible thing.
Bernard of Clairvaux
The true measure of loving God is to love him without measure.
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
Who loves me will love my dog also.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Let us affectionately love His angels as counselors and defenders appointed by the Father and placed over us. They are faithful they are prudent they are powerful Let us only follow them, let us remain close to them, and in the protection of the God of heaven let us abide.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Action and contemplation are very close companions they live together in one house on equal terms. Martha and Mary are sisters.
Bernard of Clairvaux
From the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to Thee again.
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
