The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.
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
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
Anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak.
Robert Frost
It's God - I recognised him from Blake's picture.
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost

Robert Frost
There is no love. There's only love of men and women, love Of children, love of friends, of men, of God: Divine love, human love, parental love, Roughly discriminated for the rough.
Robert Frost
Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.
Robert Frost
You, of course, are a rose-- But were always a rose.
Robert Frost
The only way out is through.
Robert Frost
Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred. But here is not a question of what's sacred Rather of what to face or run away from. I'd hate to be a runaway from nature.
Robert Frost
I believe in teaching, but I don’t believe in going to school.
Robert Frost
The footpath down to the well is healed.
Robert Frost
Have I not walked without an upward look Of caution under stars that very well Might not have missed me when they shot and fell? It was a risk I had to take-and took.
Robert Frost
Out alone in the winter rain, / Intent on giving and taking pain.
Robert Frost
Evolution is like walking on a rolling barrel. The walker isn't so much interested in where the barrel is going as he is in keeping on top of it.
Robert Frost
Do you know, Considering the market, there are more Poems produced than any other thing? No wonder poets sometimes have to seem So much more businesslike than businessmen. Their wares are so much harder to get rid of.
Robert Frost
