A minute's success pays the failure of years.
Robert Browning Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp. Or what's a heaven for? Robert Browning Ambition is not what man does... but what man would do. Robert Browning Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay. 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 Fail I alone, in words and deeds? Why, all men strive and who succeeds? Robert Browning Faultless to a fault. Robert Browning God is the perfect poet. Robert Browning How good is man's life, the mere living! How fit to employ all the heart and the soul and the senses forever in joy! Robert Browning I count life just a stuff to try the soul's strength on. Robert Browning I give the fight up: let there be an end, a privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God. Robert Browning I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time. Robert Browning If you get simple beauty and naught else, you get about the best thing God invents. Robert Browning Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top. Robert Browning Love is energy of life. Robert Browning Motherhood: All love begins and ends there. Robert Browning My sun sets to rise again. Robert Browning Never the time and the place and the loved one all together! Robert Browning Oh, to be in England now that April's there. Robert Browning On the earth the broken arcs; in the heaven a perfect round. 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 Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked. Robert Browning So, fall asleep love, loved by me... for I know love, I am loved by thee. Robert Browning Stung by the splendor of a sudden thought. Robert Browning Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought. Robert Browning Take away love and our earth is a tomb. 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 The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate! Robert Browning The moment eternal - just that and no more - When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the core While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet! Robert Browning Tis not what man Does which exalts him, but what man Would do! Robert Browning What of soul was left, I wonder, when the kissing had to stop? Robert Browning What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew. Robert Browning What's a man's age? He must hurry more, that's all; Cram in a day, what his youth took a year to hold. Robert Browning White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so: life's business being just the terrible choice. Robert Browning Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once. Robert Browning You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls. Robert Browning |
