"I would not love thee half as much loved I not honour more."
I'm not even sure if the wording is correct, but I am trying to find it.
I have a feeling it comes from a poem.

Richard Lovelace, "To Lucasta, Going Off to the Wars".
To Lucasta, going to the Wars
TELL me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind
To war and arms I fly.
True, a new mistress now I chase,
The first foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith embrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.
Yet this inconstancy is such
As thou too shalt adore;
I could not love thee, Dear, so much,
Loved I not Honour more.
