Quote by St. Bernard of Clairvaux

Hell is full of good intentions or desires.

Hell is full of good intentions or desires.

Summary

This quote suggests that good intentions or desires alone are not enough to prevent someone from falling into the metaphorical "hell." It serves as a reminder that merely wishing or intending to do good is insufficient without taking proper actions to translate those intentions into reality. In other words, simply harboring noble aspirations or positive desires does not absolve one from the consequences of their actions or their failure to follow through with their intentions. It conveys the importance of aligning one's intentions with concrete actions in order to achieve meaningful and positive outcomes.

Our civilization, bequeathed to us by fierce adventurers, eaters of meat and hunters, is so full of hurry and combat, so busy about many things which perhaps are of no importance, that it cannot but see something feeble in a civilization which smiles as it refuses to make the battlefield the test of excellence.

If you love dance and you have the gift of teaching, teaching is super amazing and important because my teachers planted that seed in me. As a teacher you understand the difference or the definition of a Baryshnikov or a Gregory Hines, so teaching is really important and very necessary.

I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.

At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.

I do not know why there is this difference, but I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait. When you do enter your room, you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise. But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house. And above all you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling.
