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.

More quotes by Robert Frost
But he had gone his way, the grass all mown, And I must be, as he had been - alone, As all must be, I said within my heart, Whether they work together or apart.
Robert Frost
Life is tons of discipline.
Robert Frost
The middle of the road is where the white line is - and that's the worst place to drive.
Robert Frost
The truth is the river flows into the canyon Of Ceasing-to-Question-What-Doesn't-Concern-Us, As sooner or later we have to cease somewhere.
Robert Frost
The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.
Robert Frost
Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.
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
What you want, what you're hanging around in the world waiting for, is for something to occur to you.
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
I don't like to see things on purpose. I like them to soak in. A friend . . . asked me to go to the top of the Empire State Building once, and I told him that he shouldn't treat New York as a sight-it's feeling, an emotional experience. And the same with every place else.
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
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
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
The best thing we're put here for's to see The strongest thing that's given us to see with's a telescope. Someone in every town, seems to me, owes it to the town to keep one.
Robert Frost
Courage is the human virtue that counts most-courage to act on limited knowledge and insufficient evidence. That's all any of us have.
Robert Frost
Belief is better than anything else, and it is best when rapt - above paying its respects to anybody's doubt whatsoever.
Robert Frost
You can't trust God to be unmerciful. There you have the beginning of all wisdom.
Robert Frost
I dwell with a strangely aching heart In that vanished abode there far apart
Robert Frost
Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting. . . . Read it a hundred times it will forever keep its freshness as a metal keeps its fragrance. It can never lose its sense of a meaning that once unfolded by surprise as it went.
Robert Frost
I've given offense by saying I'd as soon write free verse as play tennis with the net down.
