Well, it's almost always the heart, as you might expect. Imogen says "The innocent mansion of my love, my heart"

However, there is this interesting line from As You Like It:

"and this way will I take upon me to wash your liver as clean as a sound sheep's heart, that there shall not be one spot of love in 't."

But the liver is more associated with courage, as Falstaff "your excellent sherry is the warming of the blood; which cold and settled, left the liver white and pale, which is the badge of pusillanimity and cowardice" and Hamlet's "It cannot be but I am pigeon-livered and lack gall to make oppression bitter."

The stomach is also associated with courage as in Horatio's line "to some enterprise That hath a stomach in't." or Regan's "Lady, I am not well; else I should answer From a full-flowing stomach" or Henry V's "That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart".

The pancreas doesn't even get off the starting line, I'm afraid.
