All About Love – Shakespeare Quote of the Day

Love In Action

So true love should do: it cannot speak;
For truth hath better deeds than words to grace it.

Else, suffer’d, it will set the heart on fire
The sea hath bounds, but deep desire hath none.

Whereof the root was fix’d in virtue’s ground,
The leaves and fruit maintain’d with beauty’s sun,
Exempt from envy.

When but love’s shadows are so rich in joy!

If thou rememb’rest not the slightest folly
That ever love did make thee run into,
Thou hast not lov’d.
