More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
Humility in furs is better than pride in tunics.
Bernard of Clairvaux
True love does not demand a reward, but it deserves one.
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 wine which makes glad the heart of man
Bernard of Clairvaux
What I know of the divine science and holy scripture, I learnt in the woods and fields.
Bernard of Clairvaux
He won me over entirely by giving Himself entirely to me.
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
For I have learnt for a fact that nothing so effectively obtains, retains and regains grace, as that we should always be found not high-minded before God, but filled with holy fear.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Thus understanding and love, that is, the knowledge of and delight in the truth, are, as it were, the two arms of the soul, with which it embraces and comprehends with all the saints the length and breath, the height and depth, that is the eternity, the love, the goodness, and the wisdom of God.
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
God will become visible as God's image is reborn in you.
Bernard of Clairvaux
We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Among us on the earth there is His memory but in the Kingdom of heaven His very Presence. That Presence is the joy of those who have already attained to beatitude the memory is the comfort of us who are still wayfarers, journeying towards the Fatherland.
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
God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.
Bernard of Clairvaux
To serve Mary is a mark of eternal salvation to come.
Bernard of Clairvaux
