Oh the wild joys of living! The leaping from rock to rock ... the cool silver shock of the plunge in a pool's living waters.

More quotes by Robert Browning
I do what many dream of, all their lives
Robert Browning
Out of your whole life give but a moment! All of your life that has gone before, All to come after it, -so you ignore, So you make perfect the present, condense, In a rapture of rage, for perfection's endowment, Thought and feeling and soul and sense.
Robert Browning
Unless you can love, as the angels may, With the breadth of heaven betwixt you Unless you can dream that his faith is fast, Through behoving and unbeloving Unless you can die when the dream is past- Oh, never call it loving!
Robert Browning
That's the wise thrush he sings each song twice over, lest you should think he never could recapture the first fine careless rapture!
Robert Browning
And inasmuch as feeling, the East's gift, Is quick and transient,- comes, and lo! is gone, While Northern thought is slow and durable.
Robert Browning
Is your love for the Lord sufficient to give all your time and talents to his work?
Robert Browning
Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.
Robert Browning
O woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.
Robert Browning
Love, hope, fear, faith - these make humanity These are its sign and note and character.
Robert Browning
But there are times when patience proves at fault.
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.
Robert Browning
Was there nought better than to enjoy? No feat which, done, would make time break, And let us pent-up creatures through Into eternity, our due? No forcing earth teach heaven's employ?
Robert Browning
Oh never star Was lost here but it rose afar.
Robert Browning
Truth that peeps Over the glass's edge when dinner's done.
Robert Browning
You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls.
Robert Browning
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
Truth is within ourselves.
Robert Browning
How good is life, the mere living!
Robert Browning
He who did well in war just earns the right, To begin doing well in peace.
Robert Browning
Love is the energy of life.
Robert Browning
