More quotes by Robert Browning
All service ranks the same with God,- With God, whose puppets, best and worst, Are we: there is no last nor first.
Robert Browning
Best be yourself, imperial, plain, and true.
Robert Browning
Oh, to be in England Now that April's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware.
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
Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
Robert Browning
I see my way as birds their trackless way. I shall arrive,- what time, what circuit first, I ask not but unless God send his hail Or blinding fire-balls, sleet or stifling snow, In some time, his good time, I shall arrive: He guides me and the bird. In his good time.
Robert Browning
What I aspired to be and was not, comforts me.
Robert Browning
But God has a few of us to whom he whispers in the ear The rest may reason and welcome 'tis we musicians know.
Robert Browning
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
The devil, that old stager, who leads downward, perhaps, but fiddles all the way!
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
A pretty woman's worth some pains to see.
Robert Browning
Tis looking downward makes one dizzy.
Robert Browning
The lie was dead And damned, and truth stood up instead.
Robert Browning
Hatred and cark and care, what place have they / In yon blue liberality of heaven?.
Robert Browning
Mid the sharp, short emerald wheat, scarce risen three fingers well, The wild tulip at the end of its tube, blows out its great red bell, Like a thin clear bubble of blood, for the children to pick and sell.
Robert Browning
I say, the acknowledgment of God in ChristAccepted by thy reason, solves for theeAll questions in the earth and out of it,And has so far advanced thee to be wise.
Robert Browning
Love is energy of life.
Robert Browning
What's the earth With all its art, verse, music, worth — Compared with love, found, gained, and kept?
Robert Browning
Where the apple reddens never pry - lest we lose our Edens, Eve and I.
Robert Browning
