He who has a good woman's love is ashamed of every ill deed.
Swer guotes wîbes minne hât,
der schamt sich aller missetât.
der schamt sich aller missetât.

More quotes by Walther von der Vogelweide
That which they call love, it is nothing except the pain of longing.
The world is beautiful outside: white, green, and red; but inside it is black and dark as death.
Those who drown out the good singing –
there's many more of them
than those who want to hear it.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
