Bruno of Cologne - Remembered For His Eloquence

Remembered For His Eloquence

His funeral elegies celebrate his eloquence, which is a way with words, and his poetic, philosophical, and theological talents; his merit as a teacher is reflected in the merits of his pupils, amongst whom were Eudes of Châtillon, afterwards Pope Urban II; Rangier, Cardinal Bishop of Reggio; Robert, Bishop of Langres; and a large number of prelates and abbots.

Famous quotes containing the words remembered and/or eloquence:

    “She remembered home as a place where there were always too many children, a cross man and work piling up around a sick woman.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work fifteen and sixteen hours a day. I saw him once literally bleed from the bottoms of his feet, a man who came here uneducated, alone, unable to speak the language, who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.”
    —Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)
