He who rushes headlong into love will fare worse than if he had cast himself from a precipice

In the works of the ancient Roman playwright Plautus, the theme of love and its consequences is a recurring motif. One of the most famous quotes attributed to him is “He who rushes headlong into love will fare worse than if he had cast himself from a precipice.” This quote encapsulates the idea that impulsive and reckless actions in matters of the heart can lead to disastrous outcomes.
