St. Bernard de Clairvaux, painting
“Bernard of Clairvaux” Painted by Georg Andreas Wasshuber (1650-1732) after a statue in Clairvaux that is said to be an accurate depiction of the saint

 

“There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is Curiosity.

There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is Vanity.

There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love.”

St. Bernard of Clairvaux (d. 1153)
