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.
We can use our precious and passing moments to nourish and enrich our hearts by loving ourselves and all living beings... not the New Year day alone but may every throb of our life be a moment of loving happiness.
There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.
-Vincent van Gogh
The heart is an organ of fire.
-Michael Ondaatje
"The English Patient"
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
I have come to light the lamp of love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added lustre.
All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
There's nothing more inspiring than the complexity and beauty of the human heart.
-Cynthia Hand
"Hallowed"
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
-Khalil Gibran
