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
