More quotes by Robert Browning
All good things Are ours, nor soul helps flesh more, now, than flesh helps soul!
Robert Browning
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
Italy, my Italy! Queen Mary's saying serves for me (When fortune's malice Lost her Calais): Open my heart, and you will see Graved inside of it 'Italy.'
Robert Browning
The heavens and earth stay as they were my heart Beats as it beat: the truth remains the truth.
Robert Browning
Strike when thou wilt, the hour of rest, but let my last days be my best.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
God be thanked, the meanest of his creatures Boasts two soul-sides, one to face the world with, One to show a woman when he loves her.
Robert Browning
The sea heaves up, hangs loaded o'er the land, Breaks there, and buries its tumultuous strength.
Robert Browning
Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.
Robert Browning
Lofty designs must close in like effects.
Robert Browning
The sad rhyme of the men who proudly clung To their first fault, and withered in their pride.
Robert Browning
I count life just a stuff To try the soul's strength on.
Robert Browning
Never the time and the place And the loved one all together.
Robert Browning
What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold.
Robert Browning
The trouble that most of us find with the modern matched sets of clubs is that they don't really seem to know any more about the game than the old ones did.
Robert Browning
Days decrease, / And autumn grows, autumn in everything.
Robert Browning
How good is life, the mere living!
Robert Browning
Over my head his arm he flung, Against the world.
Robert Browning
God smiles as He has always smiled Ere suns and moons could wax and wane, Ere stars were thundergirt, or piled The Heavens, God thought on me His child Ordained a life for me, arrayed Its circumstances, every one To the minutest ay, God said This head this hand should rest upon Thus, ere He fashioned star or sun.
Robert Browning
Truth that peeps Over the glass's edge when dinner's done.
Robert Browning
