John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

7130 Robert Browning 1812-1889 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7130
AUTHOR:Robert Browning (1812–1889)
QUOTATION:It’s wiser being good than bad;
  It’s safer being meek than fierce;
It’s fitter being sane than mad.
  My own hope is, a sun will pierce
The thickest cloud earth ever stretched;
  That after Last returns the First,
Though a wide compass round be fetched;
  That what began best can’t end worst,
  Nor what God blessed once prove accurst.
ATTRIBUTION:Apparent Failure. vii.
