Do not be afraid of showing your affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy, than by service; love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present.
–Sir John Lubbock
A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat.
–Logan P. Smith
Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections as leaves are to the life of a tree. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots.
–Nathaniel Hawthorne
The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed, there is no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennuis, vanish, all duties even.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never regret anything you have done with a sincere affection; nothing is lost that is born of the heart.
–Basil Rathbone
The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen.
–Jean Baptiste Lacordaire
The hardest of all is learning to be a well of affection, and not a fountain, to show them that we love them, not when we feel like it, but when they do.
–Nan Fairbrother
It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.
–Christian Nevell Bovee
Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.
–Leigh Hunt
Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.
–Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes –seize it, don’t miss it.
–Max Lucado
If we treated everyone we meet with the same affection we bestow upon our favorite cat,
they, too, would purr.
–Martin Delany
Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness
there is in our lives.
–C.S. Lewis
Sometimes we let affection, go unspoken,
Sometimes we let our love go unexpressed,
Sometimes we can’t find words to tell our feelings,
Especially towards those we love the best.
–Author Unknown
If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving be me
— W. H. Auden
In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels.
–Jane Austen
Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again — this is the brave and happy life.
–J.E Buckrose
