The nurse actually tells Romeo that if he is just leading Juliet on, then stop, because it will turn out bad for both of them.
Nope. The Nurse interrupts them. Rosaline does not have a line in the play. I'm not saying that someone else's Romeo and Juliet might not have Rosaline butt into their conversation, but this doesn't happen in Shakespeare's play.
This quote is said by Juliet talking to the nurse, after Juliet has just met Romeo. Juliet is saying that if Romeo is already married, she will kill herself. This line is also an example of foreshadowing.
Some people think that the name of the nurse in Romeo and Juliet is Angelica. This is because of a line in Act 4 Scene 4 of the play where Capulet says, "Look to the baked meats, good Angelica: Spare not for the cost." The Nurse is indeed onstage at this point. However, there are servants rushing around everywhere, and Capulet's instructions are about how to prepare the supper. It may be more plausible that the line be directed at a cook, not a Nurse.
Act II, Scene 2 - line 33
This is the last line of Act II Scene V of Romeo and Juliet, and is said by Juliet to the Nurse after the Nurse has told her that Romeo is waiting to marry her. There are two sentences in this line. "Hie" means "hurry". "High fortune" is like "good luck". It sounds like Juliet is wishing the nurse good luck but the nurse is only going to lunch. It is Juliet who is embarking on the significant journey, because she is going to get married. But the line has to be read in conjunction with the previous line. The nurse has just said "Go; I'll to dinner; hie you to the cell." Juliet is just repeating the word "Hie" with the understanding that it is the same as the previous "hie", which is to say, it's still about her. The meaning of the conversation would be something like this: Nurse: Go; I'm going to lunch; off you go to church. Juliet: Off to good luck. Goodbye dear nurse.

Line numbers are added to editions of Shakespeare's works by the editors and so they are different for every edition. Unless you are talking to someone with the same book as you line numbers are meaningless. If, as I guess, you are talking about Act II Scene IV of the play, my edition says that Peter says the lines you mention, not the nurse.
You know, don't you, that the line numbers start afresh from one in every scene of the play, so "line 157 of Romeo and Juliet" gives very little clue as to what line you are asking about. The nurse only talks with Romeo in two scenes: Act II Scene 4 and Act III Scene 3. According to my copy, Peter says line 157 in 2,4 and Friar Lawrence in 3,3. Did I mention that the line numbers are different in every edition of the play? So your line numbers won't match mine if we don't have the same book. Next time, forget about the line numbers and quote the words you want explained.

Yes, one famous quote from the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet is "A plague o' both your houses!" uttered after the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt, blaming the feuding families for their fate. She also plays a key role in the play as a confidante and messenger between Romeo and Juliet.
Act II, Scene 2 - line 33
One line that illustrates Juliet's anger at the Nurse is when she says, "Blistered be thy tongue for such a wish!" This shows Juliet's frustration with the nurse's suggestion to marry Paris and blame Romeo. She also expresses her anger through statements like, "Prodigious birth of love it is to me, that I must love a loathed enemy."

The line "parting is such sweet sorrow" from Romeo and Juliet means that saying goodbye can be bittersweet because even though it is sad to leave, there is a sweetness in the memories and emotions shared. It captures the conflicting feelings of sorrow and sweetness that come with saying farewell to a loved one.
"Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."
Capulet treats the nurse like a servant and yells at her. Not to say that she wasn't a servant of the Capulet household, but the Capulets treated her better than their other servants an had some respect for her because she DID raise Juliet.
