A champion of the workingman has never been known to die of overwork.
Robert Frost
Image
Now close the windows and hush all the fields: If the trees must, let them silently toss.
Robert Frost
Image
A poem may be worked over once it is in being, but may not be worried into being.
Robert Frost
Image
I wonder about the trees. Why do we wish to bear Forever the noise of these More than another noise So close to our dwelling place?
Robert Frost
Image
There is the fear that we shan't prove worthy in the eyes of someone who knows us at least as well as we know ourselves. That is the fear of God. And there is the fear of Man -fear that men won't understand us and we shall be cut of from them.
Robert Frost
Image
No, in country money, the country scale of gain, The requisite lift of spirit has never been found.
Robert Frost
Image
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
Robert Frost
Image
There is much in nature against us. But we forget: Take nature altogether since time began, Including human nature, in peace and war, And it must be a little more in favor of man.
Robert Frost
Image
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
Image
More men die of worry than of work, because more men worry than work.
Robert Frost
Image
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
Image
Than smoke and mist who better could appraise The kindred spirit of an inner haze?
Robert Frost
Image
A voice said, Look me in the stars And tell me truly, men of earth, If all the soul-and-body scars Were not too much to pay for birth.
Robert Frost
Image
People who read me seem to be divided into four groups: twenty-five percent like me for the right reasons twenty-five percent like me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the wrong reasons twenty-five percent hate me for the right reasons. It's that last twenty-five percent that worries me.
Robert Frost
Image
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
Robert Frost
Image
Anything more than the truth would have seemed too weak.
Robert Frost
Image
Our life runs down in sending up the clock. The brook runs down in sending up our life. The sun runs down in sending up the brook. And there is something sending up the sun.
Robert Frost
Image
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye.
Robert Frost
Image
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.

Any eye is an evil eye That looks in on to a mood apart.
