More quotes by 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

Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Ignorance is not innocence but sin.

How good is life, the mere living!

Robert Browning
Truth is within ourselves. There is an inmost center in us all, where the truth abides in fullness.
Robert Browning
But God has a few of us to whom he whispers in the ear The rest may reason and welcome 'tis we musicians know.
Robert Browning
Strike when thou wilt, the hour of rest, but let my last days be my best.
Robert Browning
Over my head his arm he flung, Against the world.
Robert Browning
The ultimate, angels' law, Indulging every instinct of the soul There where law, life, joy, impulse are one thing!
Robert Browning
Never brag, never bluster, never blush.
