Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with.

More quotes by Robert Frost
Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.
Robert Frost
I own I never really warmed To the reformer or reformed. And yet conversion has its place Not halfway down the scale of grace.
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
I wonder about the trees. Why do we wish to bear Forever the noise of these More than another noise So close to our dwelling place?
Robert Frost
The heart can think of no devotion Greater than being shore to the ocean- Holding the curve of one position, Counting an endless repetition.
Robert Frost
It was far in the sameness of the wood I was running with joy on the Demon's trail, Though I knew what I hunted was no true god.
Robert Frost
Good fences make good neighbors.
Robert Frost
When I was young, I was so interested in baseball that my family was afraid I'd waste my life and be a pitcher. Later they were afraid I'd waste my life and be a poet. They were right.
Robert Frost
No memory of having starred atones for later disregard, or keeps the end from being hard.
Robert Frost
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods.
Robert Frost
The best things and best people rise out of their separateness I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
Robert Frost
I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.
Robert Frost
I don't like to see things on purpose. I like them to soak in. A friend . . . asked me to go to the top of the Empire State Building once, and I told him that he shouldn't treat New York as a sight-it's feeling, an emotional experience. And the same with every place else.
Robert Frost
Before now poetry has taken notice Of wars, and what are wars but politics Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?
Robert Frost
I write to find out what I didn't know I knew.
Robert Frost
Let me be the one To do what is done.
Robert Frost
There would be more than ocean-water broken Before God's last Put out the Light was spoken.
Robert Frost
If the writer does not cry, the reader does not cry.
Robert Frost
I see for Nature no defeat In one tree's overthrow Or for myself in my retreat For yet another blow.
Robert Frost
One of the lies would make it out that nothing Ever presents itself before us twice. Where would we be at last if that were so? Our very life depends on everything's Recurring till we answer from within.
