Quotations
Heart
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"
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
The heart has a heart of its own.
-Morrissey
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"
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"
Every person has both a bad heart and good heart. No matter how good a man seems, he has some evil. No matter how bad a man seems, there is some good about him. No man is perfect
-Proverbs "Mohawk Tradition"
Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.
-Jimmy Dean
Nothing is less in our power than the heart, and far from commanding we are forced to obey it.
-Jean Jacques Rousseau
May our heart’s garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers.
-Thich Nhat Hanh "Thich Nhat Hanh"
