Shakespeare on True Love that Never did Run Smooth

the course of true love never did run smooth “… for aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth
.”
(Midsummer Night’s Dream act 1, sc. 1)

 Tips for Use. If you are a third party witnessing a quarrel between two lovers, deliver the lines as a way to indicate that the strength of true love is not to be measured by trivial disagreements. If you are a direct party in the quarrel adapt the lines to the situation.
You may look at the page describing the book “Your Daily Shakespeare”, 1390 pages filled choc-a-block with over 10,000 situations you may find yourself in or involved with, attuned to the perfect Shakespearean repartee that will get you on the stage or at least out of the water – besides making a winner of any verbal contest. The analytical index is structured so that you can quickly select the best words that fit the situation. And if you like this website why not subscribe (see last menu item to the right)? You will get automatically any new blog as well as any other information and novelty that will be forthcoming, including a system to effortlessly (yes) remember hundreds of Shakespearean quotes by heart while having fun in the process. You can also chat with me – please go to the chat-page. And I promise, no sales calls, trade leads, venomous schemes, hidden plots, Machiavellian conspiracies, commercial ploys, psychological tricks, leads exchanges, barter proposals, suggestions or offers of any kind imaginable (and unimaginable).

In the Play.  Obstacles have arisen preventing Hermia to marry Lysander.
