England! my country, great and free! Heart of the world, I leap to thee!
Grief hallows hearts, even while it ages heads.
The hero is the world-man, in whose heart One passion stands for all, the most indulged.
Art is a man's nature; nature is God's art.
Love is the art of hearts, and heart or arts.

O, there is naught on earth worth being known but God and our own souls!
Thou art a woman, And that is saying the best and worst of thee.
Art is man's nature; nature is God's art.
Man is one; and he hath one great heart. It is thus we feel, with a gigantic throb athwart the sea, each other's rights and wrongs; thus are we men.
Death, thou art infinite; it is life is little.
My favoured temple is an humble heart.
Any heart turned Godward feels more joyIn one short hour of prayer, than e'er was raisedBy all the feasts of earth since its foundation.

I have a heart with room for every joy .
Blest is he whose heart is the home of the great dead and their great thoughts.
Remember that thy heart will shed its pleasures as thine eye its tears, and both leave loathsome furrows.
