Robert Frost
Tolerance is the uncomfortable feeling that in the end the other could be right.
Robert Frost
The problem for the King is just how strict The lack of liberty, the squeeze of the law And discipline should be in school and state.
Robert Frost
But he had gone his way, the grass all mown, And I must be, as he had been - alone, As all must be, I said within my heart, Whether they work together or apart.
Robert Frost
If the writer does not cry, the reader does not cry.
Robert Frost
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods.
Robert Frost
Life is tons of discipline. Your first discipline is your vocabulary then your grammar and your punctuation
Robert Frost
I am sure I have heard this several times from places I can't recall, but it's not already in the Gaia Quotes database, so I add this profound insight from the fields of psychological healing and spiritual evolution. It sure has helped me.
