More quotes by Robert Frost
Of all crimes the worst Is to steal the glory From the great and brave, Even more accursed Than to rob the grave.
Robert Frost
I'd like to get away from earth awhile And then come back to it and begin over. May no fate wilfully misunderstand me And half grant what I wish and snatch me away Not to return. Earth's the right place for love: I don't know where it's likely to go better.
Robert Frost
Humour is the most engaging cowardice. With it myself I have been able to hold some of my enemy in play far out of gunshot.
Robert Frost
Poetry should be common in experience but uncommon in books.
Robert Frost
Nature does not complete things. She is chaotic. Man must finish, and he does so by making a garden and building a wall.
Robert Frost
A man has got to keep his extrication. The important thing is not to get bogged down In what he has to do to earn a living.
Robert Frost
How many times it thundered before Franklin took the hint! How many apples fell on Newton's head before he took the hint! Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.
Robert Frost
I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree~ And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, But dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
Robert Frost

Robert Frost
It's God - I recognised him from Blake's picture.
Robert Frost
I'm not a teacher, but an awakener.
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
Good fences make good neighbors.
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
Nature is always hinting at us.
Robert Frost
Of course there is matter for remark in poems. Nobody denies that. But it must be solemnly laid on everybody in this world to make his own observations and remarks. That's what we mean by thinking, and that's about all we mean. A teacher says to a pupil Watch me notice a few things in the next few months: let's see you notice a few things too.
Robert Frost
Only where love and need are one, And the work is play for mortal stakes Is the deed ever truly done For Heaven and the future's sakes
Robert Frost
An idea comes as near to something for nothing as you can get.
Robert Frost
If you're looking for something to be brave about, consider fine arts.
Robert Frost
The difference between a job and a career is the difference between forty and sixty hours a week.
