More quotes by Robert Frost
Word I was in my life alone, / Word I had no one left but God.
Robert Frost
The sister's face Fell all in wrinkles of responsibility. She wanted to do right. She'd have to think.
Robert Frost
If you don't know how great this country is, I know someone who does Russia.
Robert Frost
For me the initial delight is in the surprise of remembering something I didn't know I knew. I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew.
Robert Frost
If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.
Robert Frost
Let him that is without stone among you cast the first thing he can lay his hands on.
Robert Frost
One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
Robert Frost
Modern poets talk against business, poor things, but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market.
Robert Frost
We disparage reason. But all the time it's what we're most concerned with. There's will as motor and there's will as brakes. Reason is, I suppose, the steering gear.
Robert Frost
I'm always saying something that's just the edge of something more.
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
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
Style is less the man than the way a man takes himself.
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
Nobody was ever meant, To remember or invent, What he did with every cent.
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
Our life runs down in sending up the clock. The brook runs down in sending up our life. The sun runs down in sending up the brook. And there is something sending up the sun.
Robert Frost
Than smoke and mist who better could appraise The kindred spirit of an inner haze?
Robert Frost
If it were a dog, it would have bitten you already. Actual Twents: At e ne hond was, dan e oew allange ebettene. Meaning: Said to someone who is looking for something which is right under his nose. Source: Twents Woordenbook. Twents in Woord en Gebruik.
Robert Frost
Courage is the human virtue that counts most-courage to act on limited knowledge and insufficient evidence. That's all any of us have.
