And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.

Additional quotes by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand.

I love your lips when they're wet with wine and red with wicked desire

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone

We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow To those who love us best. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
