Nature is always hinting at us.
Robert Frost
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.
Robert Frost
I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day Have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed as if I could bear no more. The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.
Robert Frost
If the writer does not cry, the reader does not cry.
Robert Frost
If society fits you comfortably enough, you call it freedom.
Robert Frost
Meditate nothing. Learn to contemplate. Contemplate glory. There will be a light. Contemplate Truth until it burns your eyes out.
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
Possessing what we still were unpossessed by, Possessed by what we now no more possessed.

Fireflies in the Garden By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Here come real stars to fill the upper skies, And here on earth come emulating flies, That though they never equal stars in size, (And they were never really stars at heart) Achieve at times a very star-like start. Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.
Robert Frost
God once declared He was true And then took the veil and withdrew.
Robert Frost
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Robert Frost
A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.
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
The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day.
Robert Frost
I play better tennis because the court is there.
Robert Frost
Talking is a hydrant in the yard and writing is a faucet upstairs in the house. Opening the first takes the pressure off the second.
Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.
Robert Frost
