My heart resembles the ocean; has storm, and ebb and flow; and many a beautiful pearl lies hid in its depths below. - Heinrich Heine In thy heart there is a holy spot, As 'mid the waste an isle of fount and palm, Forever green!--the world's breath enters not, The passion-tempest may not break its calm, 'Tis thine, all thine. - Mrs. Felicia D. Hemans The heart is always young only in the recollection of those whom it has loved in youth. - Arsene Houssaye The heart is a small thing, but desireth great matters. It is not sufficient for a kite's dinner, yet the whole world is not sufficient for it. - Victor Hugo Some people's hearts are shrunk in them, like dried nuts. You can hear 'em rattle as they walk. - Douglas William Jerrold How small, of all that human hearts endure, that part which laws or kings can cause or cure. - Samuel Johnson (a/k/a Dr. Johnson) ("The Great Cham of Literature") The heart echoes the words of love. - Baroness Barbara Juliane de Krudener Oh, no! my heart can never be Again in lightest hopes the same; The love that lingers there for thee Hath more of ashes than of flame. - Letitia Elizabeth Landon (Mrs. George MacLean) The heart that has once been bathed in love's pure fountain retains the pulse of youth forever. - Walter Savage Landor All who know their own minds know not their own hearts. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld The head is ever the dupe of the heart. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld When the heart is still agitated by the remains of a passion, we are more ready to receive a new one than when we are entirely cured. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld The head is always the dupe of the heart. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxims (no. 105) The less heart, the more comfort. - Ninon de L'Enclos (real name Anne L'Enclos) When the heart dares to speak, it needs no preparation. [Ger., Wo das Herz reden darf braucht es keiner Vorbereitung.] - Ephraim Gotthold Lessing, Mina von Barnhelm (V, 4) As the heart is, so is love to the heart. It partakes of its strength or weakness, its health or disease. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Home-keeping hearts are happiest. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The poor too often turn away unheard, From hearts that shut against them with a sound That will be heard in heaven. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Something the heart must have to cherish, Must love, and joy, and sorrow learn; Something with passion clasp, or perish, And in itself to ashes burn. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Hyperion (bk. II, introduction) For his heart was in his work, and the heart Giveth grace unto every Art. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Building of the Ship (l. 7) The very gnarliest and hardest of hearts has some musical strings in it; but they are tuned differently in every one of us. - James Russell Lowell The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away. - Martin Luther Do you think that any one can move the heart but He that made it? - John Lyly (Lylie or Lyllie) Better to have the poet's heart than brain, Feeling than song. - George MacDonald, With and Without (pt. III, sc. 9, l. 30) The heart of a woman is never so full of affection that there does not remain a little corner for flattery and love. - Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Mariavux Displaying page 4 of 7 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 7
