Dicho español · Spanish proverb
«Ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente.»

Eyes that do not see, heart that does not feel.
What it really means
The closest English equivalent: Out of sight, out of mind.
What you don’t witness can’t hurt you — used about distance healing feelings, or about blissful ignorance.

Why learn dichos?
Proverbs like this one are everywhere in spoken Spanish — dropped mid-conversation, usually just the first half, with the rest left for you to complete. Recognizing them is one of the fastest ways to sound less like a textbook and follow real speech. Every Lingocito edition signs off with the dicho del día, so you meet one a day next to news written at your level.
