More quotes by Robert Browning
But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, to dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and baffled, get up and begin again.
Robert Browning
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
Strike when thou wilt, the hour of rest, but let my last days be my best.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Wander at will, Day after day,-- Wander away, Wandering still-- Soul that canst soar! Body may slumber: Body shall cumber Soul-flight no more.
Robert Browning
Might she have loved me? just as well She might have hated, who can tell!
Robert Browning
A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with.
Robert Browning
As is your sort of mind, So is your sort of search: You will find what you desire.
Robert Browning
Lofty designs must close in like effects.
Robert Browning
Sing, riding 's a joy! For me I ride.
Robert Browning
A minute's success pays the failure of years.
Robert Browning
Truth is within ourselves. There is an inmost center in us all, where the truth abides in fullness.
Robert Browning
Imperfection means perfection hid.
Robert Browning
Faultless to a fault.
