For above all things Love means sweetness, and truth, and measure; yea, loyalty to the loved one and to your word. And because of this I dare not meddle with so high a matter.

Out of five hundred who speak glibly of love, not one can spell the first letter of his name.

You have to endure what you can't change.

A bully is not reasonable - he is persuaded only by threats.

For what the lover would, that would the beloved; what she would ask of him that should he go before to grant. Without accord such as this, love is but a bond and a constraint.

There are divers men who make a great show of loyalty, and pretend to such discretion in the hidden things they hear, that at the end folk come to put faith in them.

He who would tell divers tales must know how to vary the tune.
