Robert BurnsBut deep this truth impress'd my mind: Thro' all His works abroad, The heart benevolent and kind The most resembles God.
About This Quote
Charles Dickens captured a profound truth in this quote. The heart is a window to the soul, and the most benevolent and kind heart is the one that resembles God. For those who have been touched by tragedy or have been victims of abuse or been mistreated by those who should have loved them the most, the heart is a frightening place to be as it can lead us down paths of self destruction. In order for us to become more like God, we must cultivate a more loving and compassionate nature.
