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.
I am reminded of the advice of my neighbor. Never worry about your heart till it stops beating.
-E. B. White
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should obey it.
-C. S. Lewis
"The Abolition of Man"
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.
-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
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.
Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.
-Jimmy Dean
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
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
-Theodore Roosevelt
A pure devotee’s heart is always filled with ideas about executing the Lord’s service, which is bestowed upon the pure devotee through the transparent medium of the spiritual master.
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don’t know ourselves!
