"All my love always."
How many times have I seen that phrase ending letters?
It never seemed to work out that way.

The Devil's Dictionary was a newspaper weekly first collected as a book in 1906. While the book represents diabolical appetites, and derides pretense, it should be noted that Bierce generally reserved his severest ridicule for those who benefit most from the status quo. It's easy to imagine him a century later relying less on casual political incorrectness, to pay better tribute to those who couldn't overindulge enough on the prosperity that took place.
DISTRESS, n. A disease incurred by exposure to the prosperity of a friend.
TAKE, v.t. To acquire, frequently by force but preferably by stealth.
EPITAPH, n. An inscription on a tomb, showing that virtues acquired by death have a retroactive effect. Following is a touching example:
Here lie the bones of Parson Platt,
Wise, pious, humble and all that,
Who showed us life as all should live it;
Let that be said — and God forgive it!

[ The Devil's Dictionary Dot Com ]
HOMICIDE, n. The slaying of one human being by another. There are four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy, but it makes no great difference to the person slain whether he fell by one kind or another — the classification is for advantage of the lawyers.
HUSBAND, n. One who, having dined, is charged with the care of the plate
HELPMATE, n. A wife, or bitter half.
