Your affection
for those
close to
you-family
and friends-increases
when you are
parted from
them. The proverb was first recorded c. 1850, but the sentiment
is expressed in earlier literature—for example, by James Howell (1593?–1666), who wrote “Distance sometimes endears friendship, and absence sweeteneth it.”
Proverb expressing opposite meaning:
out of sight, out of mind.
