Our feelings were given us to excite to action, and when thy end in themselves, they are cherished to no good purpose.
Sandford.
Feeling in the young precedes philosophy, and often acts with a better and more certain aim.
Carleton.
Strong feelings do not necessarily make a strong character. The strength of a man is to be measured by the power of the feelings he subdues, not by the power of those which subdue him.
Cultivate consideration for the feelings of other people if you would not have your own injured. Those who complain most of ill-usage are those who abuse others the oftenest.
The last, best fruit which comes to late perfection, even in the kindliest soul, is, tenderness, toward the hard, forbearance toward the unforbearing, warmth of heart toward the cold, philanthropy toward the misanthropic.
Richter.
The hear of man is older than his head. The first born is sensitive, but blind his younger brother has a cold, but all comprehensive glance. The blind must consent to be led by the clearsighted, if he would avoid falling.
Ziegler.
Some people carry their hearts in their heads very many carry their heads in their hearts, the difficulty is to keep them apart, and yet both actively working together.
A word a look, which at one time would make no impression at another time wounds the heart; and like a shaft flying with the wind, pierces deep, which, with its own natural force, would scarce have reached the object aimed at.
Sterne.
Every human feeling is greater and larger than its exciting cause a proof, I think, that man is designed for a higher state of existence.
Coleridge.
The heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touched by the thorns.
Moore.
Feelings come and go, like light troops following the victory of the present; but principles, like troops of the line, are undisturbed and stand fast.
Richter.
Feeling does not becomes stronger in the religious life by waiting, but by using it.
H.W. Beecher.
He who looks upon Christ through frames and feelings is like one who sees the sun on the water, and so sees it quivering and moving as the water moves. But he that looks upon him in the glass of his word by faith, sees him forever the same.
Nottidge.
Thought is deeper than all speech; feeling deeper than all thought; soul to souls can never teach what unto themselves was taught.
Cranch.
Feeling hearts, touch them but rightly, pour a thousand melodies unheard before.
Rogers.
Our higher feelings move our animal nature; and our animal nature, irritated, may call back a semblance of those emotions; but the whole difference between nobleness and baseness lies in the question, whether the feeling begins from below or above.
F.W. Robertson.
In religion faith does not spring out of feeling, but feeling out of faith. The less we feel the more we should trust. We cannot feel right till we have believed.
Bonar.
The heart has often been compared to the needle of the compass for its constancy; has it ever been so for its variations? Yet were nay man to keep minutes of his feelings from youth to age, what a table of variations would they present how numerous, how diverse, how strange!
Hare.
