“In all ranks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful; and the beautiful things that God makes are his gift to all alike”

“Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among stones”

“The human heart has hidden treasures, in secret kept, in silence sealed; the thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, whose charms were broken if revealed”

“To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind”

“Let us have care not to disclose our hearts to the those who shut up theirs against us”

“There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart”
