Time'swheelsrunsbackor stops: Potterand clayendure.
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

Robert Browning
Lofty designs must close in like effects.
Robert Browning
Wander at will, Day after day,-- Wander away, Wandering still-- Soul that canst soar! Body may slumber: Body shall cumber Soul-flight no more.
Robert Browning
Over my head his arm he flung, Against the world.
Robert Browning
It 's wiser being good than bad It 's safer being meek than fierce It 's fitter being sane than mad. My own hope is, a sun will pierce The thickest cloud earth ever stretched That after Last returns the First, Though a wide compass round be fetched.
Robert Browning
Generations pass while some tree stands, and old families last not three oaks.
