Charles DickensThere is a wisdom of the head, and... there is a wisdom of the heart.
About This Quote
There is a wisdom of the head, and there is a wisdom of the heart. The head has understanding, but the heart has compassion. The head talks about what is ethical, ethical rules are written by people who are learned in law. But you know what? the heart knows what the right thing to do is. It's up to your heart to do what is right in the moment.
