More quotes by Robert Frost

Robert Frost
Americans are like a rich father who wishes he knew how to give his son the hardships that made him rich.
Robert Frost
No, in country money, the country scale of gain, The requisite lift of spirit has never been found.
Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold.
Robert Frost
Not to sink under being man and wife, But get some color and music out of life?
Robert Frost
Meditate nothing. Learn to contemplate. Contemplate glory. There will be a light. Contemplate Truth until it burns your eyes out.
Robert Frost
And nothing to look backward to with pride, and nothing to look forward to with hope.
Robert Frost
There are tones of voices that mean more than words.
Robert Frost
You have freedom when you're easy in your harness.
Robert Frost
Possessing what we still were unpossessed by, Possessed by what we now no more possessed.
Robert Frost
There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won't, and that's a wife who can't cook and will.
Robert Frost
