If the law were physical, then it could be satisfied by works, but since it is spiritual, no one can satisfy it unless everything he does springs from the depths of the heart. But no one can give such a heart except the Spirit of God, who makes the person be like the law, so that he actually conceives a heartfelt longing for the law and henceforward does everything, not through fear or coercion, but from a free heart.” ~ Martin Luther

She nodded at him as if giving him the lead. He looked back at Holiday and, in a deep voice, said, “Kylie has something to tell you.” Kylie’s mouth fell open and right then she knew it was official. Men sucked at verbal communication especially where anything emotional was concerned.” ~ C.C. Hunter

- “It is not OK in this culture to talk to friends about causes you believe in, much less to ask them to join in. It’s OK to blast perfect strangers with crass messages every hour of the day, but it’s a tinge embarrassing, it brings up some shyness, it seems an intrusion, it risks rejection to share real heartfelt commitments. It’s easier to share our cynicism with strangers than our dreams with friends.” ~ Donella Meadows

- “If you’re writing fiction, you’re dealing with characters who, themselves, will have heartfelt sentiments but who, themselves, live in this culture right now and thus face all the impediments to sort of dealing with those parts of their lives that, you know, that we did. So it would be not only silly but unrealistic to have a character saying that kind of stuff.” ~ David Foster Wallace
- “Intelligent, heartfelt stories that tell a whole new set of truths about growing up American. Julie Orringer writes with virtuosity and depth about the fears, cruelties, and humiliations of childhood, but then does that rarest, and more difficult, thing: writes equally beautifully about the moments of victory and transcendence.” ~ George Saunders

As I understand it, the tradition allows a variety of approaches, from simple description and heartfelt expression to classical allusion and evocative wordplay.

- “I think that honesty in presenting the gospel goes out the window when you want people to respond to the message, but you are prepared to accept any sort of response. Of course, the only true response is heartfelt repentance and faith. However, if you don’t feel the need to be honest in your presentation, then you will calibrate your presentation of the gospel to whatever gets the response you want.” ~ Mark Dever
-
“The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions.” ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
- “If you’re married to an entrenched non-apologizer, it won’t help to doggedly demand one.

- “Most dreams die a slow death. They’re conceived in a moment of passion, with the prospect of endless possibility, but often languish and are not pursued with the same heartfelt intensity as when first born. Slowly, subtly, a dream becomes elusive and ephemeral. People who’ve lost their own dreams become pessimists and cynics. They feel like the time and devotion spent on chasing their dreams were wasted. The emotional scars last forever.” ~ Dean Karnazes

One of their fondest dreams has come true: you have accomplished something difficult and tangible that has enlarged you as a person and will make your life better, from here on in, forever.” ~ George Saunders

It causes Man to regress down the long path of his evolution.” ~ Dag Hammarskjold - “Be real about what you do. Stay true to the voice inside you. Don’t let the ‘business’ change what it is you love because the people, the fans, respond to what is heartfelt. They can always tell when a singer is faking it.” ~ George Jones

I wanted to elicit the strongest – and most heartfelt – arguments from the characters in the film and let those arguments bang up against the strongest arguments of their opponents.” ~ Marshall Curry

We just want to make music that is heartfelt and feels good and sounds good to our ears, and hopefully to many other’s ears as well.” ~ Theresa Wayman
