The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.
Robert Green Ingersoll
What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes if he is a painter, or ears if he is a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet? How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly? No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
Pablo Picasso
Divorce is the psychological equivalent of a triple coronary by-pass. After such a monumental assault on the heart, it takes years to amend all the habits and attitudes that led up to it.
Mary Kay Blakely
No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
Aneurin Bevan
Making a decision to have a child--it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body
Elizabeth Stone
The masculine imagination lives in a state of perpetual revolt against the limitations of human life. In theological terms, one might say that all men, left to themselves, become gnostics. They may swagger like peacocks, but in their heart of hearts they all think sex an indignity and wish they could beget themselves on themselves. Hence the aggressive hostility toward women so manifest in most club-car stories.
W.H. Auden
No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man can store up in his ghosty heart
F. Scott Fitzgerald
At the bottom of the heart of every human being, from earliest infancy until the tomb, there is something that goes on indomitably expecting, in the teeth of all experience of crimes committed, suffered, and witnessed, that good and not evil will be done
Simone Weil
If you think of vision and mission as an organization's head and heart, the values it holds are its soul.
Buzotta
I never, till now, had a friend who could give me repose; all have disturbed me, and, whether for pleasure or pain, it was still disturbance. But peace overflows from your heart into mine
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The most precious possession that ever comes To a man in this world Is a woman's heart
Josiah G. Holland
The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.
Dale Carnegie
Because she my friend and my wife, she has seen and brought out the best and worst of me, and she is still with me and I owe her my whole heart, soul, attention, love, and anything she desires of me. She will always be there...
