That I never understood that.All's fair in love and war?
What do you think?
...or a win.Of course all is not fair in love and war. You may be faced with a choice between the 'right' thing to do and the 'sensible' thing to do if you want to win, but just because it is the sensible thing to do doesn't make it fair.
All's fair in love and war?
What do you think?
I am actually unsure about it. For the most part, I don't really understand the logic behind it. But sometimes I find myself in a situation where it seems to make sense. And then afterwards I forget why it made sense.
Confusion..

But, wars are not fair in love, and love is not fair in wars.All's fair in love and war?

...This is more of a proverb explaining human nature.
As with other quotes from books, it has context. It's a paraphrase of a line from Don Quixote: 'Love and War are the same thing, and stratagems and polity are as allowable in the one as in the other.'I am actually unsure about it.

Good point. Taken like that, rather than as a guide of how to act, it's quite revealing and could be helpful in avoiding conflict.
I agree. I hadn't thought of it that way before.
It's case sensitive.Really? I don't see any mention of fairness there, only the equality of the two. Was it already generally accepted that all was fair in one or the other?
It's case sensitive.
It applies particularly to love relationships that resemble wars.
(Here, if you want to read about it.)
I'd regard it as more of an observation than, say, permission.All's fair in love and war?
