More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
You wish to see listen. Hearing is a step toward Vision.
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
Prayer is a virtue that prevaileth against all temptations.
Bernard of Clairvaux
What I know of the divine science and holy scripture, I learnt in the woods and fields.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Humility in furs is better than pride in tunics.
Bernard of Clairvaux
My child, seek those things which make for peace. Cease to stir up the King against the Church, and urge upon him a better course of action. If you will promise to do this, I in return promise to entreat the merciful Lord to grant you offspring.
Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux
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.
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
If you would know whether you have made a good confession, ask yourself I you have resolved to abandon your sins.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Many of those who are humiliated are not humble. Some react to humiliation with anger, others with patience, and others with freedom. The first are culpable, the next harmless, the last just.
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 true measure of loving God is to love him without measure.
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
All things are possible to one who believes.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!
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
