Best Answer

Lysander says this to Hermia in Act 1 Scene i of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The actual quotation is "The course of true love never did run smooth." Hermia's father is attempting to marry her against her will to Demetrius when she really loves Lysander. Lysander comforts her with these words which mean that true love always has its problems. He tells her not to worry, that despite the problem, they will be able to elope and be together.

What does the quote mean They do not love that do not show their love?

Definitely. Love is a noun, but it is a verb as well. Love must be shown to grow. I suppose it is possible to 'love someone from afar', without acting upon it, but the 'lover' must act on this love, even if they only fantasized about the 'loved 'one. However, if they don't express their 'love,' I consider that merely 'infatuation.' The Bible translates the word 'Love' from three different words in the Greek, Philia (Brotherly love), Agápe ('Principled Love,' as Jesus has for Mankind and we have for fellow Humans) and Eros (Erotic Love, such as a man and a woman would have for each other). Love has to be expressed or it is just a 'philosophical concept.'


What does jests mean from Romeo and Juliet?

'Jests' from the play Romeo & Juliet means "makes jokes" and is used in the quote, 'He jests at scars that never felt a wound.' What is meant here is that, Mercutio is laughing/sneering at Romeo's short lived love for Rosaline and Romeo thinks that Mercutio who has never experienced love himself laughs at Romeo's experiences in love when really he has no right.

She did not mean for him to hear it, and she said things she would never have said if she had known, such as that she was madly in love with him.
