More quotes by Robert Browning
Day! Faster and more fast. O'er night's brim, day boils at last.
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
Tis looking downward makes one dizzy.
Robert Browning
That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.
Robert Browning
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
Fair or foul the lot apportioned life on earth, we bear alike.
Robert Browning
What's the earth With all its art, verse, music, worth — Compared with love, found, gained, and kept?
Robert Browning
Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.
Robert Browning
When I love most, love is disguised. In hate and when hate is surprised, in love, then I hate most.
Robert Browning
Days decrease, / And autumn grows, autumn in everything.
Robert Browning
Best be yourself, imperial, plain, and true.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Thou art my single day, God lends to leaven What were all earth else, with a feel of heaven.
Robert Browning
Generations pass while some tree stands, and old families last not three oaks.
Robert Browning
Out of your whole life give but a moment! All of your life that has gone before, All to come after it, -so you ignore, So you make perfect the present, condense, In a rapture of rage, for perfection's endowment, Thought and feeling and soul and sense.
Robert Browning
What a name! Was it love or praise? Speech half-asleep or song half-awake? I must learn Spanish, one of these days, Only for that slow sweet name's sake.
Robert Browning
The sad rhyme of the men who proudly clung To their first fault, and withered in their pride.
Robert Browning
O never star Was lost here We all aspire to heaven and there is heaven Above us. If I stoop Into a dark tremendous sea of cloud, It is but for a time I press God's lamp Close to my breast its splendor soon or late Will pierce the gloom. I shall emerge some day.
Robert Browning
A lion may die of an ass's kick.
Robert Browning
The heavens and earth stay as they were my heart Beats as it beat: the truth remains the truth.
Robert Browning
