True hearts have eyes and ears, no tongues to speak; they hear and see, and sigh, and then they break.

I have my father's lopsided mouth. When I smile, my lips slope to one side. My doctor sister calls it my cerebral palsy mouth. I am very much a daddy's girl, and even though I would rather my smile wasn't crooked, there is something moving for me about having a mouth exactly like my father's.

When we, as humans, articulate, our tongues tend to hit the back of the teeth.

Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue.

We only consult the ear because the heart is wanting.

Hearts that are delicate and kind and tongues that are neither - these make the finest company in the world.

As the arteries grow hard, the heart grows soft.

I need to control my mouth.

Your voice is important - it gives away everything about you. The mouth is a muscle you have to work like you'd work at the gym.
