Additional quotes by 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.

Qui me amat, amat et canem meam.

The reason for loving God is God Himself; and the measure of our love for Him is to love Him without measure.
