Bernard of Clairvaux
You wish to see listen. Hearing is a step toward Vision.
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
My burden is light, said the blessed Redeemer, a light burden indeed, which carries him that bears it.

Bernard of Clairvaux
He rightly reads scripture who turns words into deeds.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Wherever...thou shalt be, pray secretly within thyself. If thou shalt be far from a house of prayer, give not thyself trouble to seek for one, for thou thyself art a sanctuary designed for prayer. If thou shalt be in bed, or in any other place, pray there thy temple is there.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Prayer is a virtue that prevaileth against all temptations.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens.
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
Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!
Bernard of Clairvaux
What of the souls already released from their bodies? We believe that they are overwhelmed in that vast sea of eternal light and of luminous eternity
Bernard of Clairvaux
