Come grow old with me, for the best is yet to come!
Robert Frost

Not to sink under being man and wife, But get some color and music out of life?
Robert Frost

The style is the man. Rather say the style is the way the man takes himself and to be at all charming or even bearable, the way is almost rigidly prescribed. If it is with outer seriousness, it must be with inner humor. If it is with outer humor, it must be with inner seriousness. No other way will do.

Robert Frost
Image
You can't trust God to be unmerciful. There you have the beginning of all wisdom.
Robert Frost
Image
No, in country money, the country scale of gain, The requisite lift of spirit has never been found.
Robert Frost
Image
Something sinister in the tone Told me my secret must be known: Word I was in the house alone Somehow must have gotten abroad, Word I was in my life alone, Word I had no one left but God.
Robert Frost
Image
I dwell in a lonely house I know That vanished many a summer ago.
Robert Frost
Image
More men die of worry than of work, because more men worry than work.
Robert Frost
Image
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
Image
Nothing flatters me more than to have it assumed that I could write prose, unless it be to have it assumed that I once pitched a baseball with distinction.
