Bernard of Clairvaux
God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.
Bernard of Clairvaux
If anyone makes himself his own master in the spiritual life, he makes himself scholar to a fool.
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
there are four degrees of love: 1) Love of self for self's sake. 2) Love of God for self's sake. 3) Love of God for God's own sake. 4) Love of self for God's sake.
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
Humility in furs is better than pride in tunics.
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
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
Your actions in passing, pass not away, for every good work is a grain of seed for eternal life.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!
Bernard of Clairvaux
It is a fault, not a virtue, to wish your humility recognized and applauded.
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
The three most important virtues are humility, humility, and humility.
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
Action and contemplation are very close companions they live together in one house on equal terms. Martha and Mary are sisters.
Bernard of Clairvaux
He rightly reads scripture who turns words into deeds.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Death is the gate of life.
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
