More quotes by 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
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
Strike when thou wilt, the hour of rest, but let my last days be my best.
Robert Browning
Day! Faster and more fast. O'er night's brim, day boils at last.
Robert Browning
What's the earth With all its art, verse, music, worth — Compared with love, found, gained, and kept?
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Fair or foul the lot apportioned life on earth, we bear alike.
Robert Browning
And let them pass, as they will too soon, With the bean-flowers' boon, And the blackbird's tune, And May, and June!
Robert Browning
The devil, that old stager, who leads downward, perhaps, but fiddles all the way!
Robert Browning
He guides me and the bird. In His good time!
Robert Browning
Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her- Next time, herself!-not the trouble behind her
Robert Browning
I am grown peaceful as old age tonight.
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
But there are times when patience proves at fault.
Robert Browning
That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.
Robert Browning
Love is energy of life.
Robert Browning
There are those who believe something, and therefore will tolerate nothing and on the other hand, those who tolerate everything, because they believe nothing.
Robert Browning
Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.
