This quote from Friar Lawrence means that if you love in moderation, your love will last a long time. He is warning Romeo not to be so obsessive in his love for Juliet as he was with Rosaline. The less obsessive his love is the better things will end up for him and Juliet.
Friar Laurence, just before he marries Romeo and Juliet, says this to Romeo. He is trying to get Romeo to be a little realistic, and points out that those who are crazy in love often fall out of love very quickly. Therefore to "love moderately" will make the love last.
Friar Laurence means that love should be balanced and not rushed. He warns that too intense or extreme love can lead to negative consequences, so it's important to love in a measured and steady way.
Romeo and Juliet, II, viFRIAR LAURENCE: The sweetest honeyIs loathsome in his own deliciousness,And in the taste confounds the appetite.Therefore love moderately; long love doth so.Romeo and Juliet, II, viFRIAR LAURENCE: Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
Friar Lawrence in Romeo Juliet
Forty-two hours
Friar Laurence hopes he doesn't have to wait long to solve the problem, even though he doesn't really understand why time seems to be moving slowly. He is eager to find a resolution to the situation at hand.
It comprises almost all of Act 5 Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet. The whole conversation is no more than 22 lines long. Friar John tells Friar Lawrence that he couldn't deliver the message to Romeo because he was quarantined for exposure to the plague.

This phrase suggests that pursuits of intense pleasure or happiness can often lead to destructive or dangerous outcomes. It's a warning that indulging in excessive or extreme pleasures can have negative consequences or result in tragedy.
Juliet first tells Paris she is going to marry him. Then the night before the wedding day she drinks a potion that she got from Friar Laurence, as Friar Laurence decides to help her be with Romeo. (He decides to help only because it would be a sin to marry Juliet to two people.) Anyways, the potion is suppose to make her seem dead. Then there is a above ground tomb where all the Capulets are barried and she will be barried there. She is willing to stay in there for a long time until the potion wears out. As she stays in there Friar Laurence is to tell Romeo about everything that happened so Romeo could rescue her.
The potion that the priest, Friar Laurence gave Juliet to make her appear to be dead would only work for 42 hours which is a little less then two days.
Friar Laurence's remark that a woman is best married who dies as a young bride is a misstatement because it implies that a short life of marriage is preferable to a longer one. In reality, a fulfilling and happy marriage is not determined by the length of time spent together but by the quality of the relationship and the love shared between partners. This statement fails to recognize the importance of long-lasting companionship and the depth of emotional connection that can develop over time in a marriage.
Forty-two hours. Or, not quite two days. So, if Juliet took it at 4 a.m. Wednesday morning she would wake up at 10 p.m. Thursday night. They arranged funerals pretty quickly in Verona.
During the long journey to his new order, the friar accompanied a group of veteran knights. To make amends for his past, the disgraced nobleman became a Dominican friar.
