A minute's success pays the failure of years.
Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp. Or what's a heaven for?
Ambition is not what man does... but what man would do.
Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.
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.... (more Robert Browning quotes)
