A Quote by Richard Siken

Fairy tales have rules. You are a princess or you aren’t. You are pure at heart or you aren’t. If you are pure at heart, or lucky, you might catch a break.

It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.

C. S. Lewis

All these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. And as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute; all truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.

Swami Vivekananda

Whenever there is a conflict between the pure heart and the intellect, always side with the pure heart.

Swami Vivekananda

Prayer gives us a pure heart and a pure heart can do much.

Mother Teresa

Only a pure heart, a completely pure heart can house eternity.

Frederick Lenz

He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.

Jeanne Marie Bouvier de la Motte Guyon

If we are pure at heart, we would not wish one person well and not another. We should see there is no difference between one person or another. Then our pure thoughts can be evenly spread between all people. Sunshine can reflect on clean water but not on dirty water. God's light will be reflected by those persons with a pure heart.

Baba Hari Dass

...if you wish to get pure air into your room, or if you go for a walk in the fresh air, think of the pure and of the unclean heart. Many of us like to have pure air in the room (and this is an excellent habit), or are fond of walking in the fresh air, but they do not even think of the necessity of the purity of the spirit or heart (of, so to say, spiritual air, the breath of life); and, living in the fresh air, they allow themselves to indulge in impure thoughts, impure movements of the heart, and even impurity of language, and most impure carnal actions.

John of Kronstadt

Ramanama is for the pure at heart and for those who want to attain purity and remain pure.

Mahatma Gandhi

The pure heart is one that is entirely cut away from self. To be selfless is to be pure.

Abdu'l-Bahá

Only the heart knows the correct answer. Most people think the heart is mushy and sentimental. But it's not. The heart is intuitive; it's holistic, it's contextual, it's relational. It doesn't have a win-lose orientation. It taps into the cosmic computer - the field of pure potentiality, pure knowledge, and infinite organizing power - and takes everything into account. At times it may not even seem rational, but the heart has a computing ability that is far more accurate and far more precise than anything within the limits of rational thought.

Deepak Chopra

The joy of the presence of Jesus, you must be able to give wherever you go. But you cannot give what you don't have. That's why you need a pure heart, a pure heart that you will receive as a fruit of your prayer, as a fruit of your oneness with Christ.

Mother Teresa

A pure heart means a single heart, a heart in which only one desire lives: love.

Peter Kreeft

The wise old fairy tales never were so silly as to say that the prince and the princess lived peacefully ever afterwards. The fairy tales said that the prince and princess lived happily ever afterwards; and so they did. They lived happily, although it is very likely that from time to time they threw the furniture at each other.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Do not be small minded. Do not pray for gourds and pumpkins from God, when you should be asking for pure love and pure knowledge to dawn within every heart.
