It is always a poor way of reading the hearts of others to try to conceal our own
The mouth obeys poorly when the heart murmurs
No emperor has the power to dictate to the heart
It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons
When the heart is sick it cannot bear the slightest annoyance
Wherever you go, go with all your heart
If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?
Only the heart without a stain knows perfect ease
The head is always the dupe of the heart
My eyes are dim with childish tears,
My heart is idly stirred,
For the same sound is in my ears
Which in those days I heard.
My heart is idly stirred,
For the same sound is in my ears
Which in those days I heard.
