Shun death, is my advice.
Robert Browning
Image
There's a new tribunal now higher than God's -The educated man's!
Robert Browning
Image
Days decrease, / And autumn grows, autumn in everything.
Robert Browning

Never the time and the place And the loved one all together.
Robert Browning
Image
The devil, that old stager, who leads downward, perhaps, but fiddles all the way!
Robert Browning
Image
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
Image
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.

How good is life, the mere living!
Robert Browning
Image
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
Image
Go in thy native innocence, rely On what thou hast of virtue, summon all, For God towards thee hath done his part, do thine.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Image
All service ranks the same with God,- With God, whose puppets, best and worst, Are we: there is no last nor first.
Robert Browning
Image
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
Image
You never know what life means till you die even throughout life, tis death that makes life live.
Robert Browning
Image
All we have gained then by our unbelief Is a life of doubt diversified by faith, For one of faith diversified by doubt: We called the chess-board white-we call it black.
Robert Browning
Image
Ignorance is not innocence but sin.
Robert Browning
Image
Progress is The law of life: man is not Man as yet.
Robert Browning
Image
When the liquor's out, why clink the cannikin?
Robert Browning
Image
And gain is gain, however small.
Robert Browning
