Quotations
Heart
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
A heart can stop beating for a while, one can still live.
-Suzanne Finnamore
"Split: A Memoir of Divorce"
One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart.
-Carlos Santana "Carlos Santana"
Listen to God with a broken heart. He is not only the doctor who mends it, but also the father who wipes away the tears.
-Criss Jami
There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
-George Bernard Shaw
He who loves me is made pure; his heart melts in joy. He rises to transcendental consciousness by the rousing of his higher emotional nature. Tears of joy flow from his eyes, his hair stands on end, his heart melts in love. The bliss in that state is so intense that, forgetful of himself and his surroundings, he sometimes weeps profusely, or laughs, or sings, or dances; such a devotee is a purifying influence upon the whole universe.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Srimad Bhagavatam 11.8"
Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human ‘brain’ with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human ‘heart’ with compassion.
-Dalai Lama Xiv "The XIV Dalai Lama"
The language of the heart is the only language that everybody can understand.
-Sri Chinmoy
"Sri Chinmoy's Heart Garden: A Book of Aphorisms for Joy and Inspiration"
The very strength that protects the heart from injury is the strength that prevents the heart from enlarging to its intended greatness within. The song of the voice is sweet, but the song of the heart is the pure voice of heaven.
-Kahlil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
