Wisdom of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux



“A saint is not someone who never sins, but one who sins less and less frequently and gets up more and more quickly.”

“If you concentrate hard on the state you are in, it would be suprising if you have time for anything else.”

“What we love we shall grow to resemble.”

“Many often err and accomplish little or nothing because they try to become learned rather than to live well.” 

“To have a restful or peaceful life in God is good; to bear a life of pain in patience is better; but to have peace in the midst of pain is the best of all.”
