More quotes by Robert Browning
Twere too absurd to slight For the hereafter the todays delight!
Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Generations pass while some tree stands, and old families last not three oaks.
Robert Browning
And let them pass, as they will too soon, With the bean-flowers' boon, And the blackbird's tune, And May, and June!
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
He who did well in war just earns the right, To begin doing well in peace.
Robert Browning
Lofty designs must close in like effects.
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
Just for a handful of silver he left us, Just for a riband to stick in his coat.
Robert Browning
Imperfection means perfection hid.
Robert Browning
I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.
Robert Browning
