East and west Quote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

“There's one sad truth in life I've found While journeying east and west - The only folks we really wound Are those we love the best. We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow To those who love us best.” quote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox — Download Open image
