More quotes by Robert Browning
The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate!
Robert Browning
Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.
Robert Browning
If you can sit at set of sun And count the deeds that you have done And counting find oneself-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him that heard. One glance most kind, Which fell like sunshine where he went, Then you may count that day well spent.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Robert Browning
And inasmuch as feeling, the East's gift, Is quick and transient,- comes, and lo! is gone, While Northern thought is slow and durable.
Robert Browning
Women hate a debt as men a gift.
Robert Browning
The past is gained, secure, and on record.
Robert Browning
Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain
Robert Browning
But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, to dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and baffled, get up and begin again.
Robert Browning
Ah, love, - you are my unutterable blessing.....I am in full sunshine now.
Robert Browning
