About This Quote
Love is never any better than the lover. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love a free man is never safe. Love is never any better than the lover. The best thing about love is the one who loves.
If an unkind person loves you, you should consider yourself lucky because he or she didn't have much to give you in return. On the other hand, if someone who doesn't deserve your love loves you, it's because he or she has nothing better to give. Therefore, if you want to be loved by someone who deserves your affection, you must be kind and friendly during your interactions with that person.
