All's fair in love and war..."The rules of fair play do not apply in love and war. The proverb has been traced back to John Lyly's 'Euphues' (1578) The proverb is frequently used to justify cheating".

That was a good question. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode about Leo Tolstoy.
In Episode 14, Season 5 of Seinfeld titled "The Marine Biologist," Jerry falsely informs Elaine that Tolstoy originally intended for his book "War and Peace" to be entitled "War, What is it Good For?" but that his mistress disagreed with the former title.

I'm pretty sure that would be William Shakespeare.
