About This Quote
I have nothing to give but my heart so full and these empty hands." is a quotation from the poem "The Soldier" by Rudyard Kipling. When we feel like we have nothing to offer another person, we can turn to our own hearts and discover there is much more than meets the eye. This quote speaks to the beauty of true love and commitment. The suggestion here is that when you find true love, your heart will be filled to overflowing with the very best things in life and your hands will be full of gifts for your partner.
