About This Quote
The human heart is like india-rubber; a little swells it, but a great deal will not burst it. This quote is valuable and valuable to us all for many reasons. Of course, the most obvious reason is that we all know someone who has an india-rubber heart and we want to avoid them at all costs. But the quote goes on to say that we can grow our hearts and they can expand as well.
That means we can be more loving and generous as well as more forgiving. We can learn to forgive those who have done us wrong as well as those who have been kind to us.
