More Quotes from Robert Browning:
It was roses, roses, all the way, With myrtle mixed in my path like mad.Robert Browning
Ever judge of men by their professions. For though the bright moment of promising is but a moment, and cannot be prolonged, yet if sincere in its moment's extravagant goodness, why, trust it, and know the man by it, I say, not by his performance which is half the world's work, interfere as the world needs must with its accidents and circumstances the profession was purely the man's own. I judge people by what they might be, not are, nor will be.

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.
