When you want to touch the reader's heart, try to be colder. It gives their grief as it were, a background, against which it stands out in greater relief.

I kept thinking how marvellous it would be if I could somehow tear my heart, which felt so heavy, out of my chest.

There should be more sincerity and heart in human relations, more silence and simplicity in our interactions. Be rude when you’re angry, laugh when something is funny, and answer when you’re asked.

“To ease another’s heartache is to forget one’s own.” 

“I only know what I have seen. What I have not seen doesn't make my heart heavy.” 

“My heart is filled with love for this country.” 

“A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.

“Heart is what separates the good from the great.”

“An appeal to fear never finds an echo in German hearts.” 

“Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.” 

“When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.”

Don’t waste your love on somebody who doesn’t value it.” 

The greatest cause of a poor image is the absence of unconditional love

“...a fixation is very stubborn: it burrows into the brain and breaks the heart. There are many fixations, but love is the worst.” 

 “Don’t allow your mind to tell your heart what to do. The mind gives up easily.” 

“Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.” 

If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it

Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love

Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.

A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will come out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping, we are becoming.

“I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.” 

What your heart thinks is great, is great. The soul’s emphasis is always right.
