More quotes by Robert Browning
Oh never star Was lost here but it rose afar.
Robert Browning
For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished that the flaws were fewer In the earthen vessel, holding treasure, But the main thing is, does it hold good measure Heaven soon sets right all other matters!
Robert Browning
All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups, the little children's dower.
Robert Browning
Be sure they sleep not whom God needs.
Robert Browning
No, when the fight begins within himself, / A man's worth something.
Robert Browning
What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
Robert Browning
What's the earth With all its art, verse, music, worth — Compared with love, found, gained, and kept?

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
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
There are those who believe something, and therefore will tolerate nothing and on the other hand, those who tolerate everything, because they believe nothing.
Robert Browning
Who knows most, doubts most entertaining hope means recognizing fear.
Robert Browning
Say not a small event! Why small? Costs it more pain that this ye call A great event should come to pass From that? Untwine me from the mass Of deeds which make up life, one deed Power shall fall short in or exceed!
Robert Browning
