Disillusionment and Lost Love

Things sweet to taste prove in digestion sour.

Alas, how love can trifle with itself!

Men of ill judgment ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it.

Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality

I found out that I was a Christian for revenue only and I could not bear the thought of that, it was so ignoble.

In my experience, previously counted chickens never do hatch.

Marriage, yes, it is the supreme felicity of life. I concede it. And it is also the supreme tragedy of life. The deeper the love the surer the tragedy. And the more disconsolating when it comes.
