About This Quote

Excess makes the heart grow fonder... This is a saying which can be applied to many situations. It can be applied to people who go on and on about how much they love somebody, especially when it is very obvious that they just want to get their attention and affection and it is clear that they don't really mean it. The first time we hear this quote we might be inclined to think that it is an exaggeration or an exaggeration of an old saying, but as we think about it more, we realize that it is true.

When we see somebody who says this to us, we might find ourselves more than a little suspicious of them. But as we continue hearing this quote again and again, we may come to believe that maybe they are telling the truth after all.
