When affection only speaks, truth is not always there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In life, there are no perfect affections.
It's not every day that you get to be affectionate around something, it just doesn't happen that often.
Affection reproaches, but does not denounce.
Love is not to be purchased, and affection has no price.
Truth comes to us mediated by human love.
Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.
Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.
Truth is meant to save you first, and the comfort comes afterward.
Talk not of wasted affection - affection never was wasted.
Love cannot long survive without truth. Nor is truth really truth unless it is integrated with love.
