More quotes by Bernard of Clairvaux
Human reason is snatching everything to itself, leaving nothing for faith.
He who prays and labours lifts his heart to God with his hands.
It is commonly said: What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve.

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.
