Too Often The Heart Betrays The Head
A deep green paste seal with French text ‘Le coeur trop souvent trahi l’esprit’ (literally ‘the heart too often betrays the spirit’, however in English we’d express this motto as ‘too often the heart betrays the head).
Why we love it
Whether in love, friendships or any relationships the message is to use logic.
Your heart wants them to be perfect. Your heart wants that amazing soul connection and overwhelming happiness. And your heart will lie it’s naughty four-chambered arse off to you.
Do their deeds match their words or are they all mouth and no trousers? Trust the facts, trust your head.
Wear this as your talisman to remind you to choose wisely, surround yourself with genuine people, imperfect by true love, good intentions and those who are actually in your corner, cheering you on and standing right by your side amid the fray.
