Lord Byron

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

A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
Meister Eckhart

All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.

It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it.
Epictetus

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
John Muir

One may as well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.
John Muir

The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.
Blaise Pascal
