HEART PROVERBS.

He that hath no heart ought to have
heels.
a happy heart is better than full
purse.
What comes from the heart goes to
the heart.
He who hath most heart knows most
of sorrow.
A cheerful countenance betolsens a
good heart.
No estate can make him rich that has
u poor heart.
The hearts testimony is stronger
than q thousand witnesses.
A glad heart seldom signs, but a
sorrowful mouth often laughs.
The heart is the hidden treasure Of
man., the tongue is the gate to the
treasure.
a good heart is the sun and moon;
or, rather, the sun, for it shines bright
and never changes
There never was q heart truly great
and generous that was not also tender
and compassionate.

on account of the marvellous escape OF
