Image
Fair or foul the lot apportioned life on earth, we bear alike.
Robert Browning
Image
Best be yourself, imperial, plain, and true.
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
The great beacon light God sets in all, the conscience of each bosom.
Robert Browning
Image
Inscribe all human effort with one word, artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
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

What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold.
Robert Browning
Image
Oh the wild joys of living! The leaping from rock to rock ... the cool silver shock of the plunge in a pool's living waters.
Robert Browning
Image
If you can sit at set of sun And count the deeds that you have done And counting find oneself-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him that heard. One glance most kind, Which fell like sunshine where he went, Then you may count that day well spent.
Robert Browning
Image

Robert Browning
Image
Generations pass while some tree stands, and old families last not three oaks.
Robert Browning
Image
The devil, that old stager, who leads downward, perhaps, but fiddles all the way!
Robert Browning
Image
Hatred and cark and care, what place have they / In yon blue liberality of heaven?.
Robert Browning
Image
Was there nought better than to enjoy? No feat which, done, would make time break, And let us pent-up creatures through Into eternity, our due? No forcing earth teach heaven's employ?
Robert Browning
Image
There's a new tribunal now higher than God's -The educated man's!
Robert Browning
Image
No, when the fight begins within himself, / A man's worth something.
Robert Browning
Image
Oh, good gigantic smile o' the brown old earth, This autumn morning! How he sets his bones To bask i' the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet. From the ripple to run over in its mirth
Robert Browning
Image
God's justice, tardy though it prove perchance, Rests never on the track until it reach Delinquency.
Robert Browning
Image
He who did well in war just earns the right, To begin doing well in peace.
Robert Browning
Image
There are those who believe something, and therefore will tolerate nothing and on the other hand, those who tolerate everything, because they believe nothing.
