'Warm in December, cold in June, you say?' I don't suppose the water's changed at all. You and I know enough to know it's warm Compared with cold, and cold compared with warm. But all the fun's in how you say a thing.

More quotes by 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
Space ails us moderns: we are sick with space.
Robert Frost
No memory of having starred atones for later disregard, or keeps the end from being hard.
Robert Frost
If one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn't take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.
Robert Frost
One aged man - one man - can't fill a house.
Robert Frost
A turning point in modern history.
Robert Frost
We're either nothing or a God's regret.

Robert Frost
If you're looking for something to be brave about, consider fine arts.
Robert Frost
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out.
Robert Frost
You can't trust God to be unmerciful. There you have the beginning of all wisdom.
Robert Frost
The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day. When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, a cloud come over the sunlit arch, And wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March.
Robert Frost
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.
Robert Frost
When I was young my teachers were the old. I gave up fire for form till I was cold.
Robert Frost
The difference between a job and a career is the difference between forty and sixty hours a week.
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
When work becomes play, and play becomes your work, your life unfolds.
Robert Frost
The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.
Robert Frost
Poetry is play. I'd even rather have you think of it as a sport. For instance, like football.
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
