Heart Quotes

Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.
If your head tells you one thing and your heart tells you another, before you do anything, you should first decide whether you have better head or a better heart. Heart is always better than head.

There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. That is the light that shines within your Heart.

A true friend reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that the world is transformed.

Today, see if you can stretch your heart and expand your love so that it touches not only those to whom you can give it easily, but also to those who need it so much.

Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.

Once a woman has given you her heart, you can never get rid of the rest of her.

The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

Never Quit

*When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.*

*Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow*

*Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.*
