Affections Quotes
-
Pleasure and distress, fear and courage, desire and aversion, where have these affections and experiences their seat?Clearly, either in the Soul alone, or in the Soul as employing the body, or in some third entity deriving from both. And for this third entity, again, there are two possible modes: it might be either a blend or a distinct form due to the blending.
Plotinus
-
It is with just that hope that we welcome everything that tends to strengthen the fibre and develop the nature on more sides. When the intellect and affections are in harmony; when intellectual consciousness is calm and deep; inspiration will not be confounded with fancy.
Margaret Fuller
-
The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen.
Lee Iacocca
-
Love must not touch the marrow of the soul. Our affections must be breakable chains that we can cast them off or tighten them.
Euripides
-
Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections.
Archibald Alexander
-
Love and envy make a man pine, which other affections do not, because they are not so continual.
Francis Bacon
-
What you need to do, is to put your will over completely into the hands of your Lord, surrendering to Him the entire control of it. Say, "Yes, Lord, YES!" to everything, and trust Him to work in you to will, as to bring your whole wishes and affections into conformity with His own sweet, and lovable, and most lovely will. It is wonderful what miracles God works in wills that are utterly surrendered to Him. He turns hard things into easy, and bitter things into sweet. It is not that He puts easy things in the place of the hard, but He actually changes the hard thing into an easy one.
Hannah Whitall Smith
-
Those Women who boast the Affections of their Admirers, have a greater share of Vanity than Love.
Eliza Haywood
-
One must not be mean with the affections; what is spent of the fund is renewed in the spending itself.
Sigmund Freud
-
I never change, except in my affections.
Oscar Wilde
-
None of the affections have been noted to fascinate and bewitch but envy.
Francis Bacon
-
One must not be mean with affections; what is spent of the funds is renewed in the spending itself. Left untouched for too long, they diminish imperceptibly or the lock gets rusty; they are there all right but one cannot make use of them.
Sigmund Freud
