When I love most, love is disguised. In hate; and when hate is surprised, in love, then I hate most.
Robert BrowningGo practice if you please with men and women: leave a child alone for Christ's particular love's sake!
Robert BrowningEver 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.
