The heart of one person moves another's. If one's own heart is closed, then the doors of other people's hearts will also shut tight.

The heart of one person moves another's. If one's own heart is closed, then the doors of other people's hearts will also shut tight. On the other hand, someone who makes all those around him or her into allies, bathing them in the sunlight of spring, will be treasured by all.
