Take what you want and pay for it, says God.
Seek the battle, don't complain of the wounds.
There- my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar:
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are most select and generous, chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all- to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Once upon a time I used to do a lot of comics reviewing, especially in the area of independent and small-press comics; and I found myself having a lot of good to say about a supernatural-themed comic called MERCEDES. (Anyone remember it?) I was well disorganized in those days (dear me, how things change... NOT!) and one morning I woke up and realized that I did not have a single t-shirt or shirt fit to wear. They all needed washing. Then the postman knocked at the door. There was a large flat parcel for me - and I was expecting nothing.
It was a free t-shirt from the MERCEDES authors, to thank me for the numerous positive reviews. And as it turned out, they'd got my measurements exactly right.

Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.

Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but, being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice:
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy:
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are most select and generous chief in that.

And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

Not in the sense of having a corner in her, or possession or something. But I feel certain that I would be continuously surprised by how wonderful she really is and how much there is to her. So, well, perhaps, but not if she did not want to.

Prejudices will always exist. What matters is being mature enough to be aware of them and their bad consequences.
