More quotes by Robert Browning
Our aspirations are our responsibilities.
Robert Browning
Our interest's on the dangerous edge of things. The honest thief, the tender murderer, the superstitious atheist.
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
Oh never star Was lost here but it rose afar.
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
That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.
Robert Browning
Day! Faster and more fast. O'er night's brim, day boils at last.
Robert Browning
One wise man's verdict outweighs all the fools'.
Robert Browning
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
Oh, to be in England Now that April's there, And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware.
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
A lion may die of an ass's kick.
Robert Browning
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
Italy, my Italy! Queen Mary's saying serves for me (When fortune's malice Lost her Calais): Open my heart, and you will see Graved inside of it 'Italy.'
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
I do what many dream of, all their lives
Robert Browning
It was roses, roses, all the way, With myrtle mixed in my path like mad.
Robert Browning
He guides me and the bird. In His good time!
Robert Browning
All poetry is difficult to read - The sense of it anyhow.
Robert Browning
Mothers, wives and maids, These be the tools with which priests manage men.
Robert Browning
