More quotes by Robert Browning
Man partly is and wholly hopes to be.
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
Tis Man's to explore up and down, inch by inch, with the taper his reason.
Robert Browning
One wise man's verdict outweighs all the fools'.
Robert Browning
The devil, that old stager, who leads downward, perhaps, but fiddles all the way!
Robert Browning
To do good things in the world, first you must know who you are and what gives meaning to your life.
Robert Browning
Of power does Man possess no particle: Of knowledge-just so much as show that still It ends in ignorance on every side.

Robert Browning
White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so life's business being just the terrible choice.
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
Let's contend no more, Love, Strive nor weep: All be as before Love, - Only sleep.
Robert Browning
The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate!
Robert Browning
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.
