Tradition

He that will teach himself in school, becomes a scholar to a fool.
St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Epistola 87, 7

Christ in Nature

Experto crede: aliquid amplius invenies in silvis, quam in libris. Ligna et lapides docebunt te, quod a magistris audire non possis.Believe me, you will find more lessons in the woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you what you cannot learn from masters.Bernard of Clairvaux, Letter 56, sect. 2
