Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 1. The heart is a lamp, which the High and Holy One has entrusted to our care. Keep it well trimmed. 2. The heart is a ship. Look to the hull and the rudder, the masts, the sails, and the rigging. Have an eye to the crew, and take care what merchandise you have aboard; mind that you have plenty of ballast, and do not carry too much sail. 3. The heart is a temple. Keep it pure and undefiled. 4. The heart is a besieged city, and liable to attacks on all sides. While you defend one part, keep a good look-out on the other. (Old Humphrey.)
