About This Quote
This quote is the perfect example of the dangers of professing something that you don’t really believe in. When Henry II asked his wife Isabella to become pregnant, she professed to be pleased with his proposal. However, when she was actually carrying the child, she didn’t really want it. Her heart was not in it. This shows us that when something does not come from our hearts, it is often a deception.
