Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments: love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds.
I'd like to know that your love Is love I can be sure of, So tell me now and I won't ask again, Will you still love me tomorrow?

Nowadays men cannot love seven night but they must have all their desires: that love may not endure by reason; for where they be soon accorded and hasty, heat soon it cooleth. Right so fareth love nowadays, soon hot soon cold: this is no stability. But the old love was not so.
