More quotes by Robert Browning
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
I judge people by what they might be, - not are, nor will be.
Robert Browning
The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate!
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
Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her- Next time, herself!-not the trouble behind her
Robert Browning
Fair or foul the lot apportioned life on earth, we bear alike.
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
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

Robert Browning
Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain
Robert Browning
The heavens and earth stay as they were my heart Beats as it beat: the truth remains the truth.
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
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
Of what I call God, And fools call Nature.
Robert Browning
The great mind knows the power of gentleness.
Robert Browning
Day! Faster and more fast. O'er night's brim, day boils at last.
Robert Browning
Let friend trust friends, and love demand love's like.
Robert Browning
But little do or can the best of us: That little is achieved through Liberty.
Robert Browning
How strange now, looks the life he makes us lead So free we seem, so fettered fast we are!
Robert Browning
Oh never star Was lost here but it rose afar.
