About this Quote

This quote by Voltaire talks to the idea that when our hearts are not in contract with our actions, it is hard to follow through. It suggests that when we are not truly passionate about something, it is tough to discover the motivation to do it. This is particularly true when it comes to difficult tasks or tasks that we do not delight in. We might have the ability to require ourselves to do it, but it will be a struggle. The quote indicates that it is much better to follow our hearts and do what we are enthusiastic about, instead of forcing ourselves to do something that we do not really think in. It is very important to listen to our hearts and discover something that we are genuinely enthusiastic about, as this will make it simpler to follow through and attain our objectives.
