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 ClairvauxBelieve one who has tried, you shall find a fuller satisfaction in the woods than in the books. The trees and the rocks will teach you that which you cannot hear from the masters.
Bernard of ClairvauxA truly obedient man does not discriminate between one thing and another, since his only aim is to execute faithfully whatever may be assigned to him.
