More quotes by Robert Browning
There is no truer truth obtainable by Man than comes of music
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
My sun sets to rise again.
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
I do what many dream of, all their lives
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
Who knows most, doubts most entertaining hope means recognizing fear.
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
No, when the fight begins within himself, / A man's worth something.
Robert Browning
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
Truth never hurts the teller.
Robert Browning
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.
Robert Browning
A lion may die of an ass's kick.
Robert Browning
I count life just a stuff To try the soul's strength on.
Robert Browning
The sea heaves up, hangs loaded o'er the land, Breaks there, and buries its tumultuous strength.
Robert Browning
The candid incline to surmise of late that the Christian faith proves false.
Robert Browning
Women hate a debt as men a gift.
