Quotes about Heart


A few great minds are enough to endow humanity with monstrous power, but a few great hearts are not enough to make us worthy of using it.

Jean Rostand

Power will intoxicate the best hearts, as wine the strongest heads. No man is wise enough, nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.

Charles Caleb Colton

I pray the prayer the Easterners do, May the peace of Allah abide with you; Wherever you stay, wherever you go, May the beautiful palms of Allah grow; Through days of labor, and nights of rest, The love of Good Allah make you blest; So I touch my heart--as the Easterners do, May the peace of Allah abide with you.

Lin Yutang

A line runs from the meditations of the heart to the words of the mouth. The meditations are not clear to us until the mouth utters its words. If what the mouth utters is unclear or foolish or mendacious, it must be that the meditations are the same. But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become the meditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of our understanding.

Richard Mitchell

Veracity is the heart of morality.

Thomas Henry Huxley

What we say is important... for in most cases the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

Soren Kierkegaard

I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart, and that is softness of head.

Theodore Roosevelt

To become rich is easy. Much harder is to solve the riddles of of the heart.

Syrus (Publilius Syrus)
