More quotes by Robert Browning
The great beacon light God sets in all, the conscience of each bosom.
Robert Browning
Into the street the piper stepped, Smiling first a little smile As if he knew what magic slept In his quiet pipe the while. And the piper advanced And the children followed.
Robert Browning
There's a new tribunal now higher than God's -The educated man's!
Robert Browning
Truth is within ourselves.
Robert Browning
Unless you can love, as the angels may, With the breadth of heaven betwixt you Unless you can dream that his faith is fast, Through behoving and unbeloving Unless you can die when the dream is past- Oh, never call it loving!
Robert Browning
Truth that peeps Over the glass's edge when dinner's done.
Robert Browning
Be sure they sleep not whom God needs.
Robert Browning
Might she have loved me? just as well She might have hated, who can tell!
Robert Browning
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in his hand who saith, 'A whole I planned, youth shows but half Trust God: See all, nor be afraid!
Robert Browning
In this world, who can do a thing, will not And who would do it, cannot, I perceive: Yet the will's somewhat — somewhat, too, the power — And thus we half-men struggle.
Robert Browning
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.
Robert Browning
Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain
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
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
Inscribe all human effort with one word, artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
Robert Browning
Our interest's on the dangerous edge of things. The honest thief, the tender murderer, the superstitious atheist.
Robert Browning
And inasmuch as feeling, the East's gift, Is quick and transient,- comes, and lo! is gone, While Northern thought is slow and durable.
Robert Browning
Our aspirations are our responsibilities.
Robert Browning
Days decrease, / And autumn grows, autumn in everything.
Robert Browning
Who knows most, doubts most.
