"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."
William Shakespeare

Hmm...half a millenium old and still oh so relevant.

Kalei's Best Friend said...: if you 'love all' why would you just trust a few? Call me weird but I couldn't love all unless I trusted... or am I taking this too literal? :-); 9:38 PM, March 22, 2013

21 Wits said...: No Kalei your're not, but sometimes you'll find in life there is always that one someone who may not deserve your love, but love them anyway, and great doors or windows open. It may make a difference. Of course even then in some few cases you must simply do no wrong and just walk away. Life is like a box of chocolates isn't it?; 10:16 AM, March 23, 2013

He is later 'won' into a marriage he doesn't want by the Duchesse's servant Helena.

He scoots off to a war, philanders but then is tricked into bed by Helena.

They do get back together, but there's a big 'If' at the end of "All's well that ends well."; 11:39 AM, March 23, 2013
