Out of Ireland have we come great hatred little room maimed us at the start. I carry from my mother's womb a fanatic heart.

The heart is great which shows moderation in the midst of prosperity.

In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work a great head.

Life is made up not of great sacrifices or duties but of little things in which smiles and kindness and small obligations given habitually are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.

There may be a great fire in our hearts yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Whatever I have tried to do in life I have tried with all my heart to do it well whatever I have devoted myself to I have devoted myself completely in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.

I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope Self.

There never was any heart truly great and generous that was not also tender and compassionate.

Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
