More quotes by Robert Browning
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.
Robert Browning
Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought.
Robert Browning
You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls.
Robert Browning
Why comes temptation but for man to meet And master and make crouch beneath his foot, And so be pedestaled in triumph?
Robert Browning
Never the time and the place And the loved one all together.
Robert Browning
It was roses, roses, all the way, With myrtle mixed in my path like mad.
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
Inscribe all human effort with one word, artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
Robert Browning
Out of your whole life give but a moment! All of your life that has gone before, All to come after it, -so you ignore, So you make perfect the present, condense, In a rapture of rage, for perfection's endowment, Thought and feeling and soul and sense.
Robert Browning
Most progress is most failure.
Robert Browning
The heavens and earth stay as they were my heart Beats as it beat: the truth remains the truth.
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
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
Faultless to a fault.
Robert Browning
How good is life, the mere living!
Robert Browning
Believeth with the life, the pain shall stop.
Robert Browning
Truth that peeps Over the glass's edge when dinner's done.
Robert Browning
Let friend trust friends, and love demand love's like.
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
A pretty woman's worth some pains to see.
Robert Browning
