Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens.

Bernard of Clairvaux

From the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to Thee again.
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.

Love is alone sufficient by itself, it pleases by itself and for it’s own sake. It is itself a merit, and itself it’s own recompense. It seeks neither cause, nor consequences beyond itself. It is its own fruit, its own object and usefulness. I love because I love you, I love that I may love.
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

The piercing nail has become a key to unlock the door, that I may see the good will of the Lord. And what can I see as I look through the hole?

I do a great wrong in His sight, when I beseech Him that He will hear my prayer, which as I give utterance to it, I do not hear myself. I entreat Him that He will think of me; but I regard neither myself nor Him.
BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX

God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.
