All lovers swear more performance than they are able

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals in romantic relationships often make exaggerated promises or commitments that they cannot fulfill. It implies that when people are deeply in love, they might not consider their limitations realistically and tend to overpromise their capabilities. This may stem from the desire to impress or simply from living in the euphoria of love. However, it highlights the potential discrepancy between what lovers vow to do and what they subsequently achieve.
