You have never loved me as I love you--never--never! Yours is not a passionate heart--your heart does not burn in a flame! You are, upon the whole, a sort of fay, or sprite-- not a woman!

A pure heart faces the worst kind of evil in this world. But as it sleeps it's blessed, and it wakes up cleansed and a little bit stronger.

God is looking for clean hands and a pure heart.

You cannot tempt the hearts of men who are pure.

Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.
