Love and The Heart

Come live in my heart, and pay no rent.
--Samuel Lover

Love letters are the campaign promises of the heart.
--Robert Friedman

Give expression to the noble desires that lie in your heart
--Gordon B. Hinckley

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.
--Henry Ward Beecher

Love puts the fun in together,
The sad in apart,
The hope in tomorrow,
The joy in the heart.
--Anonymous

The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.
--Samuel Taylor Coleridge

There are no little events with the heart. It magnifies everything; it places in the same scales the fall of an empire of fourteen years and the dropping of a woman's glove, and almost always the glove weighs more than the empire.
--Honore de Balzac

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
--C.S. Lewis

There are many things in life
That will catch your eye,
But only a few will catch your heart...
Pursue those.
--Author Unknown

Ah, how skillful grows the hand
That obeyeth Love's command!
It is the heart and not the brain
That to the highest doth attain,
And he who followeth Love's behest
Far excelleth all the rest.
--Henry W. Longfellow

Love means tearing down the separateness and the boundaries between your heart feelings and another person.
--Ken Keyes

I was at a party feeling very shy because there were a lot of celebrities around, and I was sitting in a corner alone and a very beautiful young man came up to me and offered me some salted peanuts and said, "I wish they were emeralds" as he handed me the peanuts and that was the end of my heart. I never got it back.
--Helen Hayes

The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
--Leo Buscaglia (Born For Love)

The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies, With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies, When love is done.
--Francis W. Bourdillon

There is no instinct like that of the heart.
--Lord Byron

The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.
--Jacques Benigne Bossuel

The dedicated life is the life worth living. You must give with your whole heart.
--Anne Dillard

As the ocean is never full of water, so is the heart never full of love.
--Author Unknown

A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart.
--William Shakespeare

I think I would rather possess eyes that know no sight, ears that know no sound, hands that know no touch than a heart that knows no love.
--Author Unknown

I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.
--Alice Walker

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
--Oscar Wilde

There is much to be known, and above all much to be loved, be it the turn of the seasons or the shape of a river pebble. Indeed, the more we find to love, the more we add to the measure of our hearts.
--Adaon in 'The Black Cauldron'

My heart to you is given:
Oh, do give yours to me;
We'll lock them up together,
And throw away the key.
--Frederick Saunders

A smooth and steadfast mind,
Gentle thoughts and calm desires,
Hearts with equal love combined,
Kindle never-dying fires.
--Thomas Carew
