If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it is yours. If it doesn't, it never was.

(See what happens when you invite a girl digger to your thread? Gets all mushy. LOL)

Or...If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it is yours. If it doesn't, hunt it down and kill it.

Isn't that supposed to be: kachels of your hearth?

Well, I will look for that also, but here is some ideas on cockles.
"An inspirational story or nostalgic movie is often said to "warm the cockles of your heart," but where exactly are they located? Not surprisingly, the answer will not be a test question on any medical school exam. The "cockles" are more metaphorical than physical, although the phrase can be traced back to 15th century medical beliefs. Unfortunately, the etymological path gets a tad murky after that.

Under one popular theory, the phrase "cockles of your heart" is derived from the Latin description for the heart's chambers, cochleae cordis. It is believed that the word "cockles" is a corrupted version of cochleae, most likely entering the popular vernacular as a form of slang. The prevailing medical opinion of that day and time was that the ventricles of the human heart resembled the concentric shells of small mollusks or snails, also known as cochleae or cockles. This theory concerning the origin of the phrase does address the connection between the physical and emotional role of the heart, but the shell analogy appears to be more accurate with the structure of the human ear. The Latin cochlea is still used to describe the ear, not the cardium, or heart.

Another theory puts the snail before the cart, as it were. During the Middle Ages, there was an abundance of small mollusks and snails whose shells were vaguely heart-shaped. In the old Irish folk song "Molly Malone," a reference is made to these edible mollusks as "cockles and mussels." It is possible that the shape of these cockle shells inspired a comparison to the chambers of the human heart. This theory sounds plausible, but the Latin root for the mollusks and the Latin root for the heart are not similar. If the phrase "cockles of your heart" did come from a comparison to mollusk shells, then it may have been a form of slang all along."

WD, kachel is a stove or heater. You may be on to another theory. Cockles of your heart vs. kachels of your hearth. Possible corruption?
Glazed tiles came into it also lol
Where did you hear kachels of your hearth?

That way, you'll be a mile away from them, and you'll have their shoes.
