Truth is within ourselves.
Robert Browning
Image
It 's wiser being good than bad It 's safer being meek than fierce It 's fitter being sane than mad. My own hope is, a sun will pierce The thickest cloud earth ever stretched That after Last returns the First, Though a wide compass round be fetched.
Robert Browning
Image
Truth never hurts the teller.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Image

Robert Browning
Image
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
Image
how sad and bad and mad it was - but then, how it was sweet
Robert Browning
Image
No! let me taste the whole of it, fare like my peers, The heroes of old, Bear the brunt, in a minute pay glad life's arrears Of pain, darkness and cold.
Robert Browning
Image
Day! Faster and more fast. O'er night's brim, day boils at last.
Robert Browning
Image
Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain
Robert Browning
Image
Our interest's on the dangerous edge of things. The honest thief, the tender murderer, the superstitious atheist.
Robert Browning
Image
Progress is The law of life: man is not Man as yet.
Robert Browning
