More quotes by Robert Browning
Is your love for the Lord sufficient to give all your time and talents to his work?
Robert Browning
Faultless to a fault.
Robert Browning
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
Inscribe all human effort with one word, artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
Robert Browning
When I love most, love is disguised. In hate and when hate is surprised, in love, then I hate most.
Robert Browning

Smiling the boy fell dead.
Robert Browning
Sorrow, the heart must bear, Sits in the home of each, conspicuous there. Many a circumstance, at least, Touches the very breast. For those Whom any sent away,--he knows: And in the live man's stead, Armor and ashes reach The house of each.
Robert Browning
If thou tastest a crust of bread, thou tastest all the stars and all the heavens.
Robert Browning
Never the time and the place And the loved one all together.
