More quotes by Robert Browning

Robert Browning
A minute's success pays the failure of years.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Let's contend no more, Love, Strive nor weep: All be as before Love, - Only sleep.
Robert Browning
Oh, good gigantic smile o' the brown old earth, This autumn morning! How he sets his bones To bask i' the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet. From the ripple to run over in its mirth
Robert Browning
Go in thy native innocence, rely On what thou hast of virtue, summon all, For God towards thee hath done his part, do thine.
Robert Browning
Tis Man's to explore up and down, inch by inch, with the taper his reason.

Smiling the boy fell dead.
Robert Browning
Our aspirations are our responsibilities.
Robert Browning
Oh, to be in England Now that April's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware.
Robert Browning
For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.
Robert Browning
