Robert Frost
Man that is of woman born is apt to be as vain has his mother.
Robert Frost
No, in country money, the country scale of gain, The requisite lift of spirit has never been found.
Robert Frost
The problem for the King is just how strict The lack of liberty, the squeeze of the law And discipline should be in school and state.
Robert Frost
The best things and best people rise out of their separateness I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
Robert Frost
More men die of worry than of work, because more men worry than work.
Robert Frost
At bottom the world isn't a joke. We only joke about it to avoid an issue with someone, to let someone know that we know he's there with his questions to disarm him by seeming to have heard and done justice to his side of the standing argument.
Robert Frost
The people I am most afraid of are those who are the most afraid.
Robert Frost
