Robert Browning

God's justice, tardy though it prove perchance, Rests never on the track until it reach Delinquency.
Robert Browning
Image
Tis Man's to explore up and down, inch by inch, with the taper his reason.
Robert Browning
Image
Italy, my Italy! Queen Mary's saying serves for me (When fortune's malice Lost her Calais): Open my heart, and you will see Graved inside of it 'Italy.'
Robert Browning
Image
He guides me and the bird. In His good time!
Robert Browning
Image
All's love, yet all's law.
Robert Browning
Image
Progress is The law of life: man is not Man as yet.
Robert Browning
Image
You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls.
Robert Browning
Image
All good things Are ours, nor soul helps flesh more, now, than flesh helps soul!
Robert Browning
