"O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, That monthly changes in her circled orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable." | ~ This line is said by Juliet "Don't swear by the moon since it chances. If you compare our love to something inconsistent, our love will be inconsistent too." ~Warning against fast love |

"if ye should lead her into a fool’s paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behavior, as they say; for the gentlewoman is young;" | ~This line is said by the Nurse. ~"If you say you will marry her, then do what you claim. She is young and naive." ~The Nurse is protective/taken a motherly role. |
