Image
Who knows most, doubts most.
Robert Browning
Image
What's the earth With all its art, verse, music, worth — Compared with love, found, gained, and kept?
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
That's the wise thrush he sings each song twice over, lest you should think he never could recapture the first fine careless rapture!
Robert Browning
Image
But little do or can the best of us: That little is achieved through Liberty.
Robert Browning
Image
As is your sort of mind, So is your sort of search: You will find what you desire.
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
Man partly is and wholly hopes to be.
Robert Browning
Image
Aspire, break bounds. Endeavor to be good, and better still, best.
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
A minute's success pays the failure of years.
Robert Browning
Image
For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.
Robert Browning
Image
Desire joy and thank God for it. Renounce it, if need be, for other's sake. That's joy beyond joy.
Robert Browning
Image
He guides me and the bird. In His good time!
Robert Browning
Image
A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with.
Robert Browning
Image
All poetry is difficult to read - The sense of it anyhow.
Robert Browning
Image
Hatred and cark and care, what place have they / In yon blue liberality of heaven?.
Robert Browning
Image
What a name! Was it love or praise? Speech half-asleep or song half-awake? I must learn Spanish, one of these days, Only for that slow sweet name's sake.
Robert Browning
Image
Generations pass while some tree stands, and old families last not three oaks.
Robert Browning
Image
Most progress is most failure.
