Quotations
Heart
We are built with a passion in our heart for the things we are meant to do.
-Lights Poxleitner
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
-Khalil Gibran
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"
May our heart’s garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers.
-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
-Nelson Mandela
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
-Khalil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
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 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"
Come live in my heart, and pay no rent.
-Samuel Lover
