God I'd forgotten that "who could refrain, / That had a heart to love, and in that heart / Courage to make 's love known?" is not only from Macbeth but that he says it because he's just murdered Duncan's guards (to cover up his crime) and feels the need to explain himself.
Anyway I absolutely think people should keep misusing it in romantic contexts, personally I would love to get that on a Valentine's Day card
