More quotes by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Measure not the work until the day's out and the labor done.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
And I must bear What is ordained with patience, being aware Necessity doth front the universe With an invincible gesture.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The exchange of sympathy for gratitude is the most princely thing!
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
O rose, who dares to name thee? No longer roseate now, nor soft, nor sweet, But pale, and hard, and dry, as stubblewheat, Kept seven years in a drawer, thy titles shame thee.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Get work, get work Be sure 'tis better than what you work to get.

Thou large-brain'd woman and large-hearted man.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
