Robert Browning
Aspire, break bounds. Endeavor to be good, and better still, best.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
O never star Was lost here We all aspire to heaven and there is heaven Above us. If I stoop Into a dark tremendous sea of cloud, It is but for a time I press God's lamp Close to my breast its splendor soon or late Will pierce the gloom. I shall emerge some day.
Robert Browning
It 's wiser being good than bad It 's safer being meek than fierce It 's fitter being sane than mad. My own hope is, a sun will pierce The thickest cloud earth ever stretched That after Last returns the First, Though a wide compass round be fetched.
Robert Browning
How strange now, looks the life he makes us lead So free we seem, so fettered fast we are!
Robert Browning
I count life just a stuff To try the soul's strength on.
Robert Browning
The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate!
Robert Browning
But little do or can the best of us: That little is achieved through Liberty.
Robert Browning
