L. Frank Baum book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
this is a line spoken by Frank Morgan's depiction of the Wizard of Oz in the 1939 film, which debuted 20 years after Baum's death. It did not actually appear in the "Wonderful Wizard of Oz".

Variant: A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others
