Quotes about Heart


Had we never loved so kindly, Had we never loved so blindly, Never met - or never parted, We had never been broken-hearted.

Robert Burns "Ae Fond Kiss"

However often marriage is dissolved, it remains indissoluble. Real divorce, the divorce of heart and nerve and fiber, does not exist, since there is no divorce from memory.

Virgilia Peterson

In secret we met - In silence I grieve, That thy heart could forget, Thy spirit deceive. If I should meet thee After long years, How should I greet thee? - With silence and tears.

George Gordon, Lord Byron "When We Two Parted"

From the lone shielding on the misty island Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas-- But still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland, And we in dreams behold the Hebrides.

Unattributed Author

Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o'er our fears, Are all with thee,--are all with thee!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd, As home his footsteps he hath turn'd, From wandering on a foreign strand!

Sir Walter Scott

Our country is that spot to which our heart is bound. [Fr., La patrie est aux lieux ou l'ame est enchainee.]

Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire)

Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice.

Woodrow T. Wilson

Loyalty means nothing unless it has at its heart the absolute principle of self-sacrifice.

Woodrow Wilson

O, once in each man's life, at least, Good luck knocks at his door; And wit to seize the flitting guest Need never hunger more. But while the loitering idler waits Good luck beside his fire, The bold heart storms at fortune's gates, And conquers its desire.

Lewis J. Bates

Good luck befriend thee, Son; for at thy birth The fairy ladies danced upon the hearth.

John Milton

I will be treble-sinewed, hearted, breathed, And fight maliciously; for when mine hours Were nice and lucky, men did ransom lives Of me for jests; but now I'll set my teeth And send to darkness all that stop me.

William Shakespeare

Oh a cockroach is better luck than a cricket upon the hearth for he magnetizes to your home those who love every heart. (typo corrected).

Saiom Shriver

Oh a cockroach is better luck than a cricket upon the hearth for her magnetizes to your home those who love every heart.

Saiom Shriver

Luxury and dissipation, soft and gentle as their approaches are, and silently as they throw their silken chains about the heart, enslave it more than the most active and turbulent vices.

Hannah More

Luxury is an enticing pleasure, a bastard mirth, which hath honey in her mouth, gall in her heart, and a sting in her tail.

Francis Quarles

Who dares think one thing, and another tell, My heart detests him as the gates of hell.

Homer ("Smyrns of Chios")

But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.

Francis Beaumont and John Bible

I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot. Men are not superior by reason of the accidents of race or color. They are superior who have the best heart--the best brain. The superior man ... stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Ah, March! we know thou art Kind-hearted, spite of ugly looks and threats, And, out of sight, art nursing April's violets!

Helen Hunt Jackson (Helen Hunt)

The heart of marriage is memories.

Bill Cosby

However often marriage is dissolved, it remains indissoluble. Real divorce, the divorce of heart and nerve and fiber, does not exist, since there is no divorce from memory.

Virgilia Peterson

Two souls and one thought, two hearts and one pulse.

Joseph Halen

Cursed be the man, the poorest wretch in life, The crouching vassal, to the tyrant wife, Who has no will but by her high permission; Who has not sixpence but in her possession; Who must to her his dear friend's secret tell; Who dreads a curtain lecture worse than hell. Were such the wife had fallen to my part, I'd break her spirit or I'd break her heart.

Robert Burns

Ah! my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for the May: Waiting for the pleasant rambles Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles, Where the woodbine alternating, Scent the dewy way; Ah! my heart is weary, waiting, Waiting for the May.

Denis Florence McCarthy
