Sing, riding 's a joy! For me I ride.
Robert Browning
The great mind knows the power of gentleness.
Robert Browning
Women hate a debt as men a gift.
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
Who knows most, doubts most entertaining hope means recognizing fear.
Robert Browning
The devil, that old stager, who leads downward, perhaps, but fiddles all the way!
Robert Browning
I see my way as birds their trackless way. I shall arrive,- what time, what circuit first, I ask not but unless God send his hail Or blinding fire-balls, sleet or stifling snow, In some time, his good time, I shall arrive: He guides me and the bird. In his good time.
Robert Browning
Over my head his arm he flung, Against the world.
Robert Browning
Never brag, never bluster, never blush.
Robert Browning
Mothers, wives and maids, These be the tools with which priests manage men.
Robert Browning
The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate!
Robert Browning
Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain
Robert Browning
All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups, the little children's dower.
Robert Browning
Twere too absurd to slight For the hereafter the todays delight!
Robert Browning
If you can sit at set of sun And count the deeds that you have done And counting find oneself-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him that heard. One glance most kind, Which fell like sunshine where he went, Then you may count that day well spent.
Robert Browning
Strike when thou wilt, the hour of rest, but let my last days be my best.
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
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
Hatred and cark and care, what place have they / In yon blue liberality of heaven?.
Robert Browning
That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.
Robert Browning
