A quiet heart is a continual feast.
It is a very serious duty, perhaps of all duties the most serious, to look into one's own character and conduct, and accurately read one's own heart. It is virtually looking into eternity, and all its vast and solemn realities, which must appear delightful or awful, according as the heart appears to be conformed or not conform to God.
Character | Conduct | Duty | Eternity | God | Heart | Wisdom |
The human heart, at whatever age, opens only to the heart that opens in return.
We may have the confidence of another without possessing his heart. If his heart be ours, there is no need of revelation or of confidence, all is open to us.
Confidence | Heart | Need | Revelation | Wisdom |
Fear builds prison walls around a man and bars him in with dreads, anxieties and timid doubts. Faith is the great liberator from prison walls. Fear paralyzes, faith empowers; fear disheartens, faith encourages, fear sickens, faith heals; fear puts hopelessness at the heart of life, while faith sees beyond the horizon and rejoices in its God.
Faith | Fear | God | Heart | Life | Life | Man | Prison | Wisdom |
George Eliot, pen name of Mary Ann or Marian Evans
A proud heart and a lofty mountain are never fruitful.
Great joy, especially after a sudden change of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue.

Zelda Fitzgerald, born Zelda Sayre
Nobody has ever measured, even poets, how much a heart can hold.
