More quotes by Robert Browning

Image
Genius has somewhat of the infantine but of the childish not a touch or taint.
Robert Browning
Image
In this world, who can do a thing, will not And who would do it, cannot, I perceive: Yet the will's somewhat — somewhat, too, the power — And thus we half-men struggle.
Robert Browning
Image
Truth never hurt the teller.
Robert Browning
Image
Youth means love, Vows can't change nature, priests are only men.
Robert Browning
Image
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
Image

O never star Was lost here We all aspire to heaven and there is heaven Above us. If I stoop Into a dark tremendous sea of cloud, It is but for a time I press God's lamp Close to my breast its splendor soon or late Will pierce the gloom. I shall emerge some day.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Image
Our aspirations are our responsibilities.
Robert Browning
Image
As is your sort of mind, So is your sort of search: You will find what you desire.
Robert Browning
Image
Most progress is most failure.
Robert Browning
Image
Have you found your life distasteful? My life did, and does, smack sweet. Was your youth of pleasure wasteful? Mine I saved and hold complete. Do your joys with age diminish? When mine fail me, I'll complain. Must in death your daylight finish? My sun sets to rise again.
Robert Browning
Image
I want to know a butcher paints, A baker rhymes for his pursuit, Candlestick-maker much acquaints His soul with song, or, haply mute, Blows out his brains upon the flute.
Robert Browning
Image
Mothers, wives and maids, These be the tools with which priests manage men.
