The candid heart.
It think it is Montecristo who signs with this expression,
Quote:
To the candid heart the truth can do no harm.

And I agree completely.

Pensaba en franco. Esto me recuerda de francotirador y me gusta el parentesco poético entre un francotirador y un corazón franco.

I was going to correct my use of recordar, but I was actually curious if that works at all.

Corazón franco también se usa, but not as often.

sosia has a spectacular aura aboutsosia has a spectacular aura about
I would use
"la verdad no puede dañar a un corazón inocente" or ""la verdad no puede dañar a un corazón sincero"
I prefer inocente, altough "sincero/franco" is a better translation of candid.
Here "inocente" (withouth malice) so no caplable of lying.
saludos

Cirujano si. Cirujano amateur de palabras, y este foro es mi quirófono. Vds.
son los víctimas. Si mi bisturí equivoca no es por mi intención, sino por mi falta de ingenio.

No sé por qué me acabas de recordar a Robin Williams en Patch Adams. Oh, y es quirófano.
