A…“Open your heart to me !”
B…“Those who love Me, I will glorify; but those who despise Me shall be ignoble”

I don’t recall Jesus saying either of those. The first sounds a bit modern but it does speak of love. The second sounds more biblical and speaks of love too.

“Those who love me …” comes from Leviticus.
What’s the citation for the second verse?

Are you quoting from 1 Samuel 2?
30 Therefore the Lord the God of Israel declares: ‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me for ever’; but now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

He didn’t say either of these (private revelations don’t count).

The first one is from a Madonna (no, not that one) song
 
No, but now that dumb song is playing over in my head.

Thanks OP 🤨
 
I think the OP is just playing games with us. He wants to see how many replies he can get before giving the answer.
Silly.
 
Ye thinketh wrongly, everyone knows the answer.
Are you trying to start an argument ?
 
The first is in a song i heard
The second might be something He said to a Saint, but i’m unsure

My favorite is “Be all you can be, come follow Me !”

But with reference to your title which was about which quotes can actually be attributed to Jesus… you know Jesus didn’t actually say the line you just quoted, right?

I mean who knows if he’s appeared to some random peasant in the year 1300 and said it or something. But in terms of the written record of things we can faithfully say Jesus specifically said, the closest comes in Matthew 4:19 when he said to Simon (Peter) and Andrew: “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people.”

The rhyming line you gave sounds like something a pop song writer probably wrote? Riffing on Jesus’ words, but not quoting him.

It’s okay to like sentences said by people who aren’t Jesus. Just try to avoid attributing them to Jesus without providing evidence that he said them?
