The heart has a deeper intelligence than the mind ever will.

About This Quote

The heart has a deeper intelligence than the mind ever will. The words that come out of our mouth are not always what we intended to say or even what we believe. It’s very possible that you can say something totally insensitive at work and not think twice about it. However, the consequences of your words will be felt by another person long after they leave your lips.

Moreover, there are some people who don’t even need to speak to hurt you. It’s heartbreaking to hear someone tell you that you are not smart enough for them, or that you are too old for them, or that they don’t want to be around you anymore. You never know what kind of words someone is thinking or feeling until they open their mouth, and that is why it’s important to be careful with what you say.
