And from her womb children of divers kind We such king in her natural bosom find, Many for many virtues excellent, None but for some and yet all different.

Young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.

Lo, here upon thy cheek the stain doth sit Of an old tear that is not washed off yet.

Friar to Romeo. The test is for Rosaline. How can he love Juliet if he isn't over Rosaline yet?

Women may fall when there's no strength in men.

Friar to Romeo. You can't expect women to be faithful when a man isn't strong enough to forget the other women. How can Juliet trust Romeo when he was with Rosaline just yesterday?

But old folks, many feign as they were dead-...

How art thou out of breath when thou hast breath To say to me that thou art out of breath?

But come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the exchange of joy That one short minute gives me in sight.

These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss consume.

Friar to Romeo. Warning that love is good in moderation. Don't get too caught up in how it is now because your love won't stay that way forever

A lover may bestride the gossamers That idle in the wanton summer air, And yet not fail; so light is vanity.
