Losses

Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth

If you are ever at a loss to support a flagging conversation, introduce the subject of eating

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept

A fool and his money are soon parted

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

Take away love and our earth is a tomb

The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end

Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose

The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.

People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.

There are only two people who can tell you the truth about yourself - an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly
