He gathers earth's whole good into his arms;
More quotes by Robert Browning
The heavens and earth stay as they were; my heart
Beats as it beat: the truth remains the truth.
Let us cry, "All good things
Are ours, nor soul helps flesh more, now, than flesh helps soul!"
Inscribe all human effort with one word,
Artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?
God is the perfect poet,
Who in his person acts his own creations.

In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.
O Fortune, cruellest of heavenly powers,
Why make such game of this poor life of ours?
