Robert Browning 1. I have lived, And seen God's hand thro a life time, And all was for the best. 2. The great mind knows the power of gentleness. 3. A minute of success pays for years of failure. 4. I walked a mile with Pleasure; She chattered all the way. But left me none the wiser For all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow And ne'er a word said she; But oh, the things I learned from her When Sorrow walked with me! 5. If you can sit at set of sun And count the deeds that you have done And counting find oneself-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him that heard. One glance most kind, Which fell like sunshine where he went, Then you may count that day well spent. 6. If all the world is a stage and life is just a play upon it, get me two seats in the stalls. 7. Look not down but up! 8. Truth never hurts the teller. 9. Must in death your daylight finish? My sun sets to rise again. 10. how sad and bad and mad it was - but then, how it was sweet 11. The good stars met in your horoscope,Made you of spirit and fire and dew. 12. It is the glory and good of Art That Art remains the one way possible Of speaking truth - to mouths like mine, at least. 13. Rats They fought the dogs and killed the cats, And bit the babies in the cradles, And ate the cheeses out of the vats, And licked the soup from the cook's own ladles. Split open the kegs of salted sprats, Made nests inside men's Sunday hats, And even spoiled the women's chats By drowning their speaking With shrieking and squeaking In fifty different sharps and flats. 14. One taste of the old time sets all to rights. 15. God’s in His heaven— All's right with the world! 16. Oh, to be in England now that April's there. 17. The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate! 18. Does he paint? he fain would write a poem,— Does he write?—he fain would paint a picture. 19. God is seen God In the star, in the stone, in the flesh, in the soul and the clod. 20.Where the quiet-colored end of evening smiles. 21. I walked a mile with Pleasure; She chattered all the way. But left me none the wiser For all she had to say. I walked a mile with Sorrow And ne'er a word said she; But oh, the things I learned from her When Sorrow walked with me! 22. Good to forgive, Best to forget. 23. If all the world is a stage and life is just a play upon it, get me two seats in the stalls. 24. Strike when thou wilt, the hour of rest, but let my last days be my best. 25. Must in death your daylight finish? My sun sets to rise again. 26. 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. 27. If you get simple beauty and naught else, you get about the best thing god invents. 28.The sea heaves up, hangs loaded o'er the land, Breaks there, and buries its tumultuous strength. 29.God is the perfect poet, Who in his person acts his own creations. 30. On a day like today I am stung by the splendor of a sudden thought. |
