Famous quotes containing the word heart:

    Continued traveling is far from productive. It begins with wearing away the soles of the shoes, and making the feet sore, and ere long it will wear a man clean up, after making his heart sore into the bargain. I have observed that the afterlife of those who have traveled much is very pathetic.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Every man at the bottom of his heart believes that he is a born detective.
    John Buchan (1875–1940)

    My heart doth joy that yet in all my life
    I found no man but he was true to me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
