More quotes by Robert Browning

Image
How he lies in his rights of a man! Death has done all death can. And absorbed in the new life he leads, He recks not, he heeds Nor his wrong nor my vengeance both strike On his senses alike, And are lost in the solemn and strange Surprise of the change.
Robert Browning
Image
Faultless to a fault.
Robert Browning
Image
Of what I call God, And fools call Nature.
Robert Browning

In heaven I yearn for knowledge, account all else inanity On earth I confess an itch for the praise of fools - that's vanity

Robert Browning

Most progress is most failure.

Robert Browning
Image
He guides me and the bird. In His good time!
Robert Browning
Image
The common problem, yours, mine, everyone's Is ? not to fancy what were fair in life Provided it could be ? but, finding first What may be, then find how to make it fair Up to our means.
Robert Browning
Image
The heavens and earth stay as they were my heart Beats as it beat: the truth remains the truth.
Robert Browning
Image
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
Image
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in his hand who saith, 'A whole I planned, youth shows but half Trust God: See all, nor be afraid!
Robert Browning

That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.
