More quotes by Teresa of Ávila
Most of these trials and times of unrest come from the fact that we do not understand ourselves.
To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.
Reflect upon the providence and wisdom of God in all created things and praise Him in them all.

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.
