That's basically the original quote. Can you explain what it means with the grammar? In other words, can you explain the time use of the past infinitives?
the love action happened before the time saying. however, if this is a fact or an idiom, i wonder whether we should use the present tense i/o past infinitives. e.g. it is better to love and lose than never love at all????

It's better to love and lost than never love at all. Is it correct ?

Quynh,
You are correct! The idiom works just as well in the present tense, exactly as you said. Good work!
