More quotes by Robert Browning
Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.
Robert Browning
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
When I love most, love is disguised. In hate and when hate is surprised, in love, then I hate most.
Robert Browning
The ultimate, angels' law, Indulging every instinct of the soul There where law, life, joy, impulse are one thing!
Robert Browning
I give the fight up: let there be an end, a privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God.
Robert Browning
The past is gained, secure, and on record.
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
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
All good things Are ours, nor soul helps flesh more, now, than flesh helps soul!
Robert Browning
Never brag, never bluster, never blush.
Robert Browning
Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her- Next time, herself!-not the trouble behind her
Robert Browning
I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.
Robert Browning
What of soul was left, I wonder, when the kissing had to stop?
Robert Browning
Good strong thick stupefying incense-smoke!
Robert Browning
Believeth with the life, the pain shall stop.
Robert Browning
What a thing friendship is - World without end.
Robert Browning
When a man's busy, why leisure Strikes him as wonderful pleasure: 'Faith, and at leisure once is he? Straightway he wants to be busy.
Robert Browning
Stand still, true poet that you are! I know you let me try and draw you. Some night you'll fail us: when afar You rise, remember one man saw you, Knew you, and named a star!
Robert Browning
Never the time and the place And the loved one all together.
Robert Browning
Aspire, break bounds. Endeavor to be good, and better still, best.
Robert Browning
