More quotes by 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 ...

Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux

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
Death is the gate of life.

Bernard of Clairvaux
The measure of love is love without measure.
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
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
Theirs is an endless road, a hopeless maze, who seek for goods before they seek for God.
Bernard of Clairvaux
