What does Friar Laureance mean when he says, "Therefore, love moderately; long love doth so"?
156998
he means that love is a lot like a fire - the hotter it burns, the sooner it will be out. True love isn't violent passion, though they often happen together. True love is easy to overlook because it lies mostly in the small things that get taken for granted and are often not appreciated until they're gone.

This is from Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo believes that Juliet has died and is determined to see her again.  He is saying this as he is about to drink poison, the apothecary is a druggist who made the poison.  He is talking about how quickly he will die, and "thus with a kiss I die" means that he is dying out of love for Juliet.

Faith?--“Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.”\n-- ...so love can be measured by faith.\n\nWisdom?--“I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.”-- ...so to carry on to the next day I needed faith that it would be better.\n\nLove?--“When a love comes to an end, weaklings cry, efficient ones instantly find another love, and the wise already have one in reserve.”-- ...so love is circumstantial and can change with time and desire.\n\nMy answer--  FAITH

First of all Love makes up reasons to be together, Love longs for each other, Love wants to spend every momet together, Love sacrifices for the other, but do not get it wrong sacrifice has got to be a two-way street, and when love can not be together the one who is away should express it in words...Love poets know this truth, but for me I look into chapter 13 of Corinthians verses 1-7 in the Bible and any Bible will give you a standard on what the world seems to lack so much of Agape Love . Please do not mistake "SEX" for "LOVE" melwynmel@yahoo.com

1 Corinthians 13:4\n Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.\n5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. \n6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.\n7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

LOVE is not based on "duty", "family relationships", "proximity", or anything other than true affection to those who are helpful, nourishing and put others before themselves. They are the people that help us grow and prosper, not those who put us down and doubt our abilities - Reserve Love for those who help us grow, become self-reliant, teach by example, and leave no doubt that they truly care about us.\n\nTo show respect is NOT anything remotely approaching LOVE.  EXAMPLE - I respect my elders, but it doesn't mean that I love them. I respect what Henry Ford was able to accomplish, but I don't love him. I respect thomas edison and all that he invented, but I don't love him. I respect my mother because she gave me life, but I don't love her. \n\nThis is a tough question and I hope I helped a little. - But remember, you are NOT "duty-bound" to love anyone - only those who respect you and "go the extra mile" to help you on your way through life.

When Jesus was asked this question, He replied \n"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it:  You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."\nMatthew 22:37-40

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. He/She may be ill or tired or incredibly busy, but he/she will always make time for you and that's when you know its somthing special and that you have never felt this way for someone else before. There is something about that person that is simply unique and no-one else comes close. Furthermore, you know in your heart that no-one else ever will. It's Love for sure when you both can't go a day with out speaking to each other and if you do it feels like your day was missing something. Love means never having to say your sorry. To truly love is to accept another as they are--to know a person deeply, with genuine concern for their welfare, without feeling the need to change him or her. It means giving of yourself out of the desire to bless another, not hoping for reciprocation. When we truly love, we don´t merely tolerate someone else´s differences, we celebrate them. We take the other fully into our heart and create a sacred shrine for him or her there, paying the due honor and respect of royalty.\n\nI hope the feelings expressed here will convey the feelings you only get when your truly in love with that ONE SPECIAL PERSON.\n\nNow you know!  :o)

1 \n1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues 2 but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. \n2 \nAnd if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. \n3 \nIf I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. \n4 \n3 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, \n5 \nit is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, \n6 \nit does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. \n7 \nIt bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. \n8 \n4 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. \n9 \nFor we know partially and we prophesy partially, \n10 \nbut when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. \n11 \nWhen I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. \n12 \nAt present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. \n13 \n5 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love. \nTable of Contents  Previous Chapter  Next Chapter\nFootnotes\n1 [1-13] This chapter involves a shift of perspective and a new point. All or part of the material may once have been an independent piece in the style of Hellenistic eulogies of virtues, but it is now integrated, by editing, into the context of 1 Cor 12-14 (cf the reference to tongues and prophecy) and into the letter as a whole (cf the references to knowledge and to behavior). The function of 1 Cor 13 within the discussion of spiritual gifts is to relativize all the charisms by contrasting them with the more basic, pervasive, and enduring value that gives them their purpose and their effectiveness. The rhetoric of this chapter is striking.\n\n2 [1-3] An inventory of gifts, arranged in careful gradation: neither tongues (on the lowest rung), nor prophecy, knowledge, or faith, nor even self-sacrifice has value unless informed by love. \n\n3 [4-7] This paragraph is developed by personification and enumeration, defining love by what it does or does not do. The Greek contains fifteen verbs; it is natural to translate many of them by adjectives in English.\n\n4 [8-13] The final paragraph announces its topic, Love never fails (1 Cor 13:8), then develops the permanence of love in contrast to the charisms (1 Cor 13:9-12), and finally asserts love's superiority even over the other "theological virtues" (1 Cor 13:13).\n\n5 [13] In speaking of love, Paul is led by spontaneous association to mention faith and hope as well. They are already a well-known triad (cf 1 Thes 1:3), three interrelated (cf 1 Cor 13:7) features of Christian life, more fundamental than any particular charism. The greatest . . . is love: love is operative even within the other members of the triad (7), so that it has a certain primacy among them. Or, if the perspective is temporal, love will remain (cf "never fails," 1 Cor 13:8) even when faith has yielded to sight and hope to possession.

As quoted by Stephen R. Covey in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Many forget that love is not just a noun but a proactive verb. Loving someone isn't just a state of mind. It requires effort, time, resources, money and action. \n\n"So love her" he advised a man who has lost feelings for his wife. "My friend, love is a verb. Love- the feeling- is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?" Conclusion-Habit 1 (Be Proactive)

It is actually from a Lord Alfred Tennyson poem who was England's Poet Laureate after Wordsworth. \n\nFrom Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem 'In Memoriam:27', 1850:\n\n    I hold it true, whate'er befall;\n    I feel it, when I sorrow most;\n    'Tis better to have loved and lost\n    Than never to have loved at all.\n\n\nTennyson married, but I guess that doesn't give us a clear indication if he ever actually found love.

The lyric dosen't hold tight to an actual meaning,but a qeust for an understanding of the  medium of the heart  which directs our wants and desiers for acceptance and love.  'fore sometimes we fall into illussions that society's dictate is all we have,yet reality is that love is love,thus my recomendation would be follow your own..\n 'lest thee fall into the lower mind of desirer.\n  Truth is love is................\n you don't need to follow someone elses lic's to find an answer..................................
