John Henshaw, fully Bishop John Prentiss Kewley Henshaw
Remember that God will not be mocked; that it is the heart of the worshiper which He regards. We are never safe till we love Him with our whole heart whom we pretend to worship.
Character | God | Heart | Love | Safe | Will | Wisdom | Worship | God |
Horace, full name Quintus Horatius Flaccus NULL
Hopeful in adversity, anxious in prosperity, is the heart prepared for weal and woe.
Adversity | Character | Heart | Prosperity | Woe |
A simple heart will love all that is most precious on earth, husband or wife, parent or child, brother or friend, without marring its singleness; external things will have no attraction save inasmuch as they lead souls to Him; all exaggeration or unreality, affection and falsehood must pass away from such a one, as the dews dry up before the sunshine. The single motive is to please God, and hence arises total indifference as to what others say and think, so that words and actions are perfectly simple and natural, as in his sight.
Character | Earth | Exaggeration | Falsehood | Friend | God | Heart | Husband | Indifference | Love | Wife | Will | Words | Parent |
What is uttered from the heart alone will win the hearts of others to your own.
Abraham ben Meir ibn Ezra, also known as Ben Ezra or Abenezra
The essence of all precepts is to make the heart upright.
A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity to freshen into smiles.
Love is the purification of the heart from self; it strengthens and ennobles the character; gives higher motive and nobler aim to every action of life, and makes both man and woman strong, noble, and courageous. The power to love truly and devotedly is the nobles gift with which a human being can be endowed; but it is a sacred fire that must not be burned to idols.

An honest heart being the first blessing, a knowing head is the second.

He whose heart is closed will not be benefited by open eyes.
Louis Kossuth, also Lajos Kossuth, fully Lajos Kossuth de Udvard et Kossuthfalva
There is a sort of natural instinct of human dignity in the heart of man which steels his very nerves not to bend beneath the heavy blows of a great adversity.
