AFFECTATION.--Affectation is the wisdom of fools, and the folly of many a comparatively wise man.We are never rendered so ridiculous by qualities which we possess, as by those which we aim at, or affect to have.--FROM THE FRENCH.
Affectation is a greater enemy to the face than the small-pox. --ST. EVREMOND.
All affectation is the vain and ridiculous attempt of poverty to appear rich.--LAVATER.
Affectation hides three times as many virtues as charity does sins. --HORACE MANN.
AFFECTION.--A loving heart is the truest wisdom.--DICKENS.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. --COLOSSIANS 3:2.
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.--HAWTHORNE.
Affection is a garden, and without it there would not be a verdant spot on the surface of the globe.
Of all earthly music, that which reaches the farthest into heaven is the beating of a loving heart.--BEECHER.
If there is anything that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love.--WILLIS.
AFFLICTION.--God sometimes washes the eyes of his children with tears in order that they may read aright His providence and His commandments. --T.L. CUYLER.
Every man deems that he has precisely the trials and temptations which are the hardest of all for him to bear; but they are so, because they are the very ones he needs.--RICHTER.
Affliction is but the shadow of God's wing.--GEORGE MACDONALD.
Affliction appears to be the guide to reflection; the teacher of humility; the parent of repentance; the nurse of faith; the strengthener of patience, and the promoter of charity.
Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces.--MATTHEW HENRY.
If you would not have affliction visit you twice, listen at once to what it teaches.--BURGH.
Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.--JOB 5:7.
With the wind of tribulation God separates in the floor of the soul, the chaff from the corn.--MOLINOS.
No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.--HEBREWS 12:11.
AGE.--No wise man ever wished to be younger.--SWIFT.
It is only necessary to grow old to become more indulgent. I see no fault committed that I have not committed myself.--GOETHE.
That which is usually called dotage is not the weak point of all old men, but only of such as are distinguished by their levity.--CICERO.
We must not take the faults of our youth into our old age; for old age brings with it its own defects.--GOETHE.
If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should not grow old.--JAMES A. GARFIELD.
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age.--VICTOR HUGO.
Remember that some of the brightest drops in the chalice of life may still remain for us in old age. The last draught which a kind Providence gives us to drink, though near the bottom of the cup, may, as is said of the draught of the Roman of old, have at the very bottom, instead of dregs, most costly pearls.--W.A. NEWMAN.
Begin to patch up thine old body for heaven.--SHAKESPEARE.
