Quote by Giacomo Casanova

Heart and head are the constituent parts of character temperament has almost nothing to do with it, and, therefore, character is dependent upon education, and is susceptible of being corrected and improved.

Heart and head are the constituent parts of character temper

Summary

This quote emphasizes that character is made up of two fundamental elements: the heart and the head. It suggests that temperament, which refers to natural predispositions or tendencies, plays a minimal role in shaping one's character. Instead, character is primarily influenced by education and can be developed, corrected, and enhanced. In other words, education and self-improvement offer the opportunity to refine and strengthen one's character, allowing individuals to cultivate positive qualities and values.
