People often say, "I have my faults, but at the bottom I have a good heart." A good heart! Alas! it is this that deceives you, for your heart is the worst part of you!
The politicians, the philosophers, the sages of the world, are all shams! What have they done toward the cure of the human heart?
Blessed be God! We recover more by the second Adam, than we lost by the first!
[Daniel de Superville]

Jeremiah 17:9 … The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Ezekiel 36:26-27 … A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.❤
