More quotes by Robert Browning
My care is for myself Myself am whole and sole reality.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Robert Browning
You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls.
Robert Browning
No, when the fight begins within himself, / A man's worth something.
Robert Browning
Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her- Next time, herself!-not the trouble behind her
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
White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so life's business being just the terrible choice.
Robert Browning
And gain is gain, however small.
Robert Browning
All's love, yet all's law.
Robert Browning
