Quotation from Henry VI, Part 3 by William Shakespeare
“My crown is in my heart, not on my head; Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, Not to be seen. My crown is called content”
Henry VI, Part 3, Act 3, Scene 1 (Project Gutenberg #1502 (Folio-based modern-spelling text))
Captured by gamekeepers, Henry tells them his true crown is inward; the line is both genuine wisdom and a sign of his unfitness to hold an outward one.
