How we cite our quotes: (Chapter:Verse)
Quote #4
Anxiety weighs down the human heart, but a good word cheers it up. (NRSV 12:25)
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. (KJV 12:25)
This is a simple observation—a good word can pick you out of the pit into which anxiety forced you.
Quote #5
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. (NRSV 13:12)
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. (KJV 13:12)
If you have an unfulfilled desire it will sicken your life, feeding on you like a parasite (bad times)—but if you fulfill it (within the realm of morality) it'll be a good thing, a life-giving thing. Good times.
Quote #6
The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares its joy. (NRSV 14:10)
The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. (KJV 14:10)
We're locked within our own feelings, "in a glass cage of emotion!" (to quote Anchorman). They're essentially private to ourselves.
