Quotes about Heart

    “Have you ever noticed that when you respond to something totally, with all your heart, there is very little memory? It is only when you do not respond to a challenge with your whole being that there is a conflict, a struggle, and this brings confusion and pleasure or pain.”

    J. Krishnamurti, Freedom From The Known (Page 36)

      “For a long while now I have trusted my dreaming self as wiser than that waking self whose head is cluttered with reason and practicalities, so by trying to control things that he sometimes forgets that the heart has reasons that reason does not know. When I dream, I never forget to trust myself.”

      Sheldon B. Kopp, If You Meet Buddha On The Road, Kill Him! (Page 216)

        “Where does your mind go when it wanders? My friend Jason points out that this might be where your heart is. What would have to change for you to actually follow the wandering and make it real? Or for your mind to choose to wander somewhere else? Somewhere you’re already going.”

        Seth Godin

          “The more you are in the head, the more the heart contracts. When you are not in the head, the heart opens like a lotus flower… and it is tremendously beautiful when it opens. Then you are really alive, and the heart is relaxed. But the heart can only be relaxed in trust, in love. With suspicion, with doubt, the mind enters. Doubt is the door of the mind; doubt is the bait for the mind.”

          Osho, Everyday Osho (Page 117)

            “They said [Tommy Norris] was too small, too thin, and not strong enough [to be a SEAL]. But, Norris proved them all wrong and showed that it’s not the size of your flippers that counts, just the size of your heart.”

              “You know your heart better than anyone else. This means you need to act on what you know. Speak up for yourself, ask for support when needed, don’t feel like you need to move at the same speed as everyone else.”

              Yung Pueblo

                “If you would like to know how to recognize a prophet, look to him who gives you the knowledge of your own heart.”

                Persian Wisdom, via A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 136)

                  “Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back.”
