The line "Love's not Time's fool" is from Shakespeare's Sonnet #116. The meaning of the quotation hinges on the meaning of the word "fool". This word had a number of meanings to Shakespeare including a stupid person, a professional jester or comic and a child. The meaning here is the same as in the line from Romeo and Juliet, "O, I am Fortune's Fool!", where fool means a dupe, a gull, a slave or lackey. In the sonnet, Time and Love are personified, but Love, says Shakespeare, is not the lackey or servant of Time, so that whether we love or not can be controlled by the passage of time. The theme of the sonnet as a whole is that true love withstands time; it is eternal and unchanging.
