Once the love bug wears off, as it inevitably does, you are shocked to discover that you really didn't know the object of your affections at all. We know this to be so, even as we repeat the same mistake over and over and over.
Bette Davis

Many things are unknown to the wisest, and the best men can never wholly divest themselves of passions and affections... nothing can or ought to be permanent but that which is perfect.
Algernon Sidney

Alexander Pope

You're making the grant of affection, forbearance, mercy, out of your own experience and, of course, out of cultural tradition. You're saying, to use the well-worn analogy, if I love my children, that puts me under obligation to assume that other people love theirs.
Wendell Berry

The conqueror is regarded with awe the wise man commands our respect but it is only the benevolent man that wins our affection.
William Dean Howells

A clear thought, a pure affection, a resolute act of a virtuous will, have a dignity of quite another kind, and far higher than accumulations of brick and granite and plaster and stucco, however cunningly put together.
William Ellery Channing
Image
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
William Gurnall
Image
The objects that we have known in better days are the main props that sustain the weight of our affections, and give us strength to await our future lot.

No important change in ethics was ever accomplished without an internal chage in our intellectual emphasis, loyalties, affections, and convictions.

Image
There are moments of mingled sorrow and tenderness, which hallow the caresses of affection.
