More quotes by Robert Browning

Image
I give the fight up: let there be an end, a privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God.
Robert Browning
Image
Never the time and the place And the loved one all together.
Robert Browning
Image
Mid the sharp, short emerald wheat, scarce risen three fingers well, The wild tulip at the end of its tube, blows out its great red bell, Like a thin clear bubble of blood, for the children to pick and sell.
Robert Browning
Image
Our aspirations are our responsibilities.
Robert Browning
Image
To me at least was never evening yet, but seemed far beautifuller than its day.
Robert Browning
Image
All we have gained then by our unbelief Is a life of doubt diversified by faith, For one of faith diversified by doubt: We called the chess-board white-we call it black.
Robert Browning
Image
White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so life's business being just the terrible choice.
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
I do what many dream of, all their lives
Robert Browning
Image
How good is life, the mere living!
Robert Browning
Image
Good to forgive, Best to forget.
Robert Browning
Image
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
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
Let's contend no more, Love, Strive nor weep: All be as before Love, - Only sleep.
Robert Browning
Image
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
Image
Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
Robert Browning
Image
Shun death, is my advice.
Robert Browning
Image
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
Image
He who did well in war just earns the right, To begin doing well in peace.
Robert Browning
Image
When I love most, love is disguised. In hate and when hate is surprised, in love, then I hate most.
