Shakespeare Love Quotes to Use in Weddings, Speeches, and Love Letters

If you are looking to write a few words on love, then look no further than Shakespeare. The Bard has written so many beautiful quotes for weddings or any other occasions involving love.

Romeo and Juliet

“Love is a smoke rais’d with the fume of sighs; Being purg’d, a fire sparkling in a lover’s eyes;

Being vex’d, a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears:

What is it else? a madness most discreet,

A choking gall and a preserving sweet.” (Act I, scene i)

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite.” (Act II, scene ii)

“Love goes toward love, as school-boys from their books,

But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.” (Act II, scene ii)

“Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night;

Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night,

And pay no worship to the garish sun.” (Act III, scene ii)

As You Like It

“But are you so much in love as your rhymes speak?

Neither rhyme nor reason can express how much.” (Act II, scene iii)

“If thou rememb’rest not the slightest folly

That ever love did make thee run into,

Thou has not loved.” (Act II, scene iv)

“Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?” (Act III, scene v)

“No sooner met but they looked, no sooner looked but they loved, no sooner loved but they sighed, no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason, no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.” (Act V, scene ii)

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,

And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.” (Act I, scene i)

“The course of true love never did run smooth.” (Act I, scene ii)

Much Ado About Nothing

“When you depart from me sorrow abides, and happiness takes his leave.” (Act I, scene I)

“Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. I were but little happy

if I could say how much.—Lady, as you are mine, I am

yours. I give away myself for you and dote upon the exchange.” (Act II, scene i)

“I do love nothing in the world so well as you—is not that strange?” (Act IV, scene i)

“I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest.” (Act IV, scene i)

“I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes—and moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncle’s.” (Act V, scene ii)
