More quotes by Robert Browning
Desire joy and thank God for it. Renounce it, if need be, for other's sake. That's joy beyond joy.
Robert Browning
Truth is within ourselves. There is an inmost center in us all, where the truth abides in fullness.
Robert Browning
Sing, riding 's a joy! For me I ride.
Robert Browning
Twere too absurd to slight For the hereafter the todays delight!
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
To me at least was never evening yet, but seemed far beautifuller than its day.
Robert Browning
All's love, yet all's law.
Robert Browning
Most progress is most failure.
Robert Browning
Unless you can love, as the angels may, With the breadth of heaven betwixt you Unless you can dream that his faith is fast, Through behoving and unbeloving Unless you can die when the dream is past- Oh, never call it loving!
Robert Browning
Hatred and cark and care, what place have they / In yon blue liberality of heaven?.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Of what I call God, And fools call Nature.
Robert Browning
God be thanked, the meanest of his creatures Boasts two soul-sides, one to face the world with, One to show a woman when he loves her.
Robert Browning
I do what many dream of, all their lives
Robert Browning
Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!
Robert Browning
Look not down but up!
Robert Browning
A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with.
Robert Browning
Imperfection means perfection hid.
Robert Browning
Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain Learn, nor account the pang dare, never grudge the throe!
Robert Browning
No, when the fight begins within himself, / A man's worth something.
Robert Browning
