More quotes by Robert Frost
We get twitted now and then on how we made this country. Well, we took the whole business, of course. It's not just that corner that we took from Mexico. When we got it all together, we got a very shapely country-the best continental cut in all the world, between the two oceans and in the right temperature zone.
Robert Frost
Life is tons of discipline. Your first discipline is your vocabulary then your grammar and your punctuation
Robert Frost
I play better tennis because the court is there.
Robert Frost
A name with meaning could bring up a child, Taking the child out of the parents' hands. Better a meaningless name, I should say, As leaving more to nature and happy chance. Name children some names and see what you do.
Robert Frost
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work.
Robert Frost
I dwell in a lonely house I know That vanished many a summer ago.
Robert Frost
But not gold in commercial quantities, Just enough gold to make the engagement rings And marriage rings of those who owned the farm. What gold more innocent could one have asked for?
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
The truly educated can listen to any view without losing their temper or self-confidence.
Robert Frost
Fortunately, we don't need to know how bad an age is. There is something we can always be doing without reference to how good or bad the age is.
Robert Frost
Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.
Robert Frost
Meditate nothing. Learn to contemplate. Contemplate glory. There will be a light. Contemplate Truth until it burns your eyes out.
Robert Frost
Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.
Robert Frost
A voice said, Look me in the stars And tell me truly, men of earth, If all the soul-and-body scars Were not too much to pay for birth.
Robert Frost
loosely bound By countless silken ties of love and thought To everything on earth the compass round
Robert Frost
Skepticism, is that anything more than we used to mean when we said, Well, what have we here?
Robert Frost
What makes a nation in the beginning is a good piece of geography.
Robert Frost
Some spirit to stand simply forth, Heroic in its nakedness, Against the uttermost of earth.
Robert Frost
Ah, when to the heart of man Was it ever less than a treason To go with the drift of things, To yield with a grace to reason, And bow and accept the end Of a love or a season?
Robert Frost
A successful lawsuit is the one worn by a policeman.
