Affection
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
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
