More quotes by Robert Browning
Boot, saddle, to horse, and away!
Robert Browning
Oh, good gigantic smile o' the brown old earth, This autumn morning! How he sets his bones To bask i' the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet. From the ripple to run over in its mirth
Robert Browning
Most progress is most failure.
Robert Browning
Mothers, wives and maids, These be the tools with which priests manage men.
Robert Browning
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in his hand who saith, 'A whole I planned, youth shows but half Trust God: See all, nor be afraid!
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
He guides me and the bird. In His good time!
Robert Browning
That's the wise thrush he sings each song twice over, lest you should think he never could recapture the first fine careless rapture!
Robert Browning
Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.
Robert Browning
The sea heaves up, hangs loaded o'er the land, Breaks there, and buries its tumultuous strength.
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
Again the Cousin's whistle! Go, my Love.
Robert Browning
You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls.
Robert Browning
What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
Robert Browning
That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.
Robert Browning
As is your sort of mind, So is your sort of search: You will find what you desire.
Robert Browning
The heavens and earth stay as they were my heart Beats as it beat: the truth remains the truth.
Robert Browning
Oh the wild joys of living! The leaping from rock to rock ... the cool silver shock of the plunge in a pool's living waters.
Robert Browning
The lie was dead And damned, and truth stood up instead.
Robert Browning
Oh never star Was lost here but it rose afar.
Robert Browning
