To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best. Hari -William M. Thackeray.

Perhaps all early love affairs ought to be strangled or drowned, like so many blind kittens.

It is best to love wisely, no doubt: but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.

I never know whether to pity or congratulate a man on coming to his senses.

Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.
