The Size of Your Heart

Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate. So practice happy thinking every day. Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast.

~ Norman Vincent Peale

The Size of Your Heart

It isn't the size of your house as such
That matters so much at all.
It's the gentle hand and its loving touch
That make it great or small.

The friends who come and the hour they
Who out of your house depart
Will judge it not by the style you show
But rather by the size of your heart.

It isn't the size of your head so much.
It isn't the wealth you found
That will make you happy -- it's how you touch
The lives that are all around.

For making money is not hard;
To live life well is an art.
How people love you, how they regard,
Is all in the size of your heart.
