Care is the actualization of love assumed.

Carl W. Buechner
They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.

Stephen Covey
Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

Doc Childre
Love fulfilled sees where we could have gone the way of love before, if we'd known how, and how insecurities limited many of our choices. Love fulfilled perceives new meaning and higher reasons behind many of the mysteries of why things happened as they did. Living from the heart is business — the business of caring for self and others.
Understanding this will take us past the age of information into the age of intuitive living.

Marc Chagall
If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.

Doc Childre

Chuang Tzu
Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

Goethe
If each of us sweeps in front of our own steps, the whole world would be clean.

Seneca the Elder
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare;
it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart
You only hurt yourself when you're not expanding and growing. Many people can't stand the thought of aging, but it's the crystallized thought patterns and inflexible mind-sets that age people before their time. You can break through and challenge your crystallized patterns and mind-sets. That's what evolution and the expansion of love are really about.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution
Any time one person makes an effort to contact a deeper part of him- or herself, balance his or her emotions, and deflect the stress momentum, others benefit. As more individuals learn to maintain their poise and balance and refrain from adding to the incoherence around them, they help to counterbalance the frequency of stress.

Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870)
Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, a touch that never hurts.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.

David McArthur & Bruce McArthur, The Intelligent Heart
Many people are afraid to forgive because they feel they must remember the wrong or they will not learn from it. The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, the wrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learn from it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgiveness brings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively.
