It was said by Friar Lawrence to Romeo in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (Act II, Scene VI) Friar Laurence says this to Romeo just before he marries Romeo and Juliet. also bela says this is in the begining of new moon.
The tone established through these words is one of warning and foreboding. Friar Laurence is cautioning about the dangerous consequences of passionate and impulsive actions, likening them to a fiery and explosive end.
"violent delights" refers to the tryst between Romeo and Juliet. The speaker, Fryar Lawrence, is foreshadowing their eventual deaths and the strife between their rival families (the Montagues and Capulets) when he talks of "violent ends".
"in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume" means that, when Romeo and Juliet get together, they will consume one another with their kiss, and so find their end (eventual dual suicides) -- just as, when fire touches gunpowder ("fire and powder") the two explode and are used up.

the full line is "These violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss, consume."
In Romeo and Juliet its saying..these violent delights--romeo & Juliet falling in love when their famlies hate each other..
have violent ends and in their triumph die--obv. they both die at the end
like fire and powder, which as they kiss, consume...when you throw powder into a fire it just makes a bigger flame..so like romeo is fire and Juliet is powder-when they come together they burn or in their case ..ends in death.
this is just in the simplest way i could put it-so someone could understand it-i hoped it gave you a better insight..im not exsactly an English scholar but i have studied shakesphere and this is actually my favorite pentameter in Romeo and Juliet
One addition - the phrase "and in their triumph die" - flame is spectacular, but the spectacle is entirely due to its destructive force. So there is a tragic element - the powder can only triumph through its own destruction in flame. By analagoy, Romeo and Juliet's passion only burns so brightly because it, too, is self-destructive and will quickly consume them.
