Quote by Mae West

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.

Summary

This quote suggests that although love is powerful and has the ability to overcome many obstacles, it is unable to solve two specific challenges - poverty and toothache. While love may bring joy, comfort, and strength, it cannot provide instant solutions to the physical pain caused by a toothache or eradicate the struggles of poverty. This statement highlights the limits of love in certain contexts and reminds us that some difficulties require practical or material means to be resolved.
