Ralph Waldo Emerson Affection Quotations

Right is more beautiful than private affection, and is compatible with universal wisdom.

The lover is made happier by his love than the object of his affection.

The affections cannot keep their youth any more than men.

Who can . . . guess how much industry and providence and affection we have caught from the pantomime of brutes?

The effect of the indulgence of human affection is a certain cordial exhilaration.

The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed.
