“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.”
John Lubbock
“Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution”
Kahlil Gibran
“I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me.”
Richard Bach
“Sometimes you got to hurt something to help something. Sometimes you have to plow under one thing in order for something else to grow.”
Ernest Gaines
“The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen.”
Lee Iacocca
“In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels.”
Jane Austen
“When we are young and again when we are old, we depend heavily on the affection of others. Between these stages we usually feel that we can do everything without help from others and that other people's affection is simply not important. But at this stage I think it is very important to keep deep human affection.”
Dalai Lama
