Best Answer

You won't be surprised to hear that stony-hearted means having a heart like stone: cold and unfeeling. The quotation is from 1 Henry IV and Falstaff says it.

"Eight yards of uneven

ground is threescore and ten miles afoot with me;

and the stony-hearted villains know it well enough"

Falstaff is so fat that running for eight yards tires him out, and he berates his companions for their lack of sympathy in making him do it.
