HEART

Civilizations proceed from the heart rather than from the head.
- Letter to Alvert Sonnichsen, 1901

You can't reason with your heart; it has its own laws, and thumps about things which the intellect scorns.
- A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

The heart is the real fountain of youth.
- Notebook, 1898

One learns peoples through the heart, not the eyes or the intellect.
- "What Paul Bourget Thinks of Us"

It is in the heart that the values lie. I wish I could make him understand that a loving heart is riches, and riches enough, and that without it intellect is poverty.
- Eve's Diary
