'Course of true love never did run smooth' có từ course là tiến trình, đường đi và smooth là bằng phẳng, lặng; vì thế thành ngữ này có nghĩa là những người yêu nhau thường phải vượt qua nhiều gian nan, vất vả để được ở bên nhau (con đường tình yêu chân chính không bao giờ phẳng lặng, là một câu trong vở kịch Giấc mộng đêm hè/A Midsummer Night's Dream của Shakespeare).

Ví dụ
Jill: What am I going to do? My boyfriend's job is transferring him to Texas, and I have to stay here.
Jane: The course of true love never did run smooth.

Dating has always been an imprecise science and, in as much as the Bard reminds us that the course of true love never did run smooth, Cupid's arrows often miss their mark.

The course of true love never did run smooth. Happily the love affair between the California Shakespeare Theater and its audience is as steamy as ever.

Shakespeare wrote, “The course of true love never did run smooth,” and San Diego’s Halozyme Therapeutics could say pretty much the same thing about the FDA approval process. When the FDA said Friday that it was approving HyQvia for adult patients with primary immune disorders, you could practically hear the uplifting music swelling in the background. It was the culmination of an ordeal that began over two years ago, when U.S. health regulators asked Halozyme and Illinois-based Baxter International to halt use of the drug in human patients until additional pre-clinical studies could be completed.
