No one is truly literate who cannot read his own heart.

About This Quote

A person who is truly literate can read the book of life and understand their own heart. The ability to read your own heart is a tremendous gift. It allows you to understand what you really want and be able to achieve it. It also allows you to understand other people’s hearts, allowing you to know when to trust someone and when not to. This is an invaluable insight that takes time to get the hang of.
