More quotes by Walter Hilton
What is humility but truthfulness? There is no real difference.
Regard yourself all the more as a sinner because you cannot feel yourself to be what you are.
I desire the love of God not because I am worthy, but because I am unworthy.

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.
