More quotes by Robert Browning
Man partly is and wholly hopes to be.
Robert Browning
Sorrow, the heart must bear, Sits in the home of each, conspicuous there. Many a circumstance, at least, Touches the very breast. For those Whom any sent away,--he knows: And in the live man's stead, Armor and ashes reach The house of each.
Robert Browning
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
The great beacon light God sets in all, the conscience of each bosom.
Robert Browning
The past is gained, secure, and on record.
Robert Browning
How he lies in his rights of a man! Death has done all death can. And absorbed in the new life he leads, He recks not, he heeds Nor his wrong nor my vengeance both strike On his senses alike, And are lost in the solemn and strange Surprise of the change.
Robert Browning
What a thing friendship is - World without end.
Robert Browning
Was there nought better than to enjoy? No feat which, done, would make time break, And let us pent-up creatures through Into eternity, our due? No forcing earth teach heaven's employ?
Robert Browning
Desire joy and thank God for it. Renounce it, if need be, for other's sake. That's joy beyond joy.
Robert Browning
The heavens and earth stay as they were my heart Beats as it beat: the truth remains the truth.
Robert Browning
Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain Learn, nor account the pang dare, never grudge the throe!
Robert Browning
The lie was dead And damned, and truth stood up instead.
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
What's the earth With all its art, verse, music, worth — Compared with love, found, gained, and kept?
Robert Browning
O woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.
Robert Browning
Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.
Robert Browning
Lofty designs must close in like effects.
Robert Browning
All poetry is difficult to read - The sense of it anyhow.
Robert Browning
Aspire, break bounds. Endeavor to be good, and better still, best.
Robert Browning
A man in armor is his armor's slave.
