Live and let live, believe and let believe. 'Twas said the lesser gods were only traits Of the one awful God. Just so the saints Are God's white light refracted into colors.

More quotes by Robert Frost
I am not a nature poet. There is almost always a person in my poems.
Robert Frost
He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, Good fences make good neighbors.
Robert Frost
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.
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
Fireflies in the Garden By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Here come real stars to fill the upper skies, And here on earth come emulating flies, That though they never equal stars in size, (And they were never really stars at heart) Achieve at times a very star-like start. Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.
Robert Frost
Talking is a hydrant in the yard and writing is a faucet upstairs in the house. Opening the first takes the pressure off the second.
Robert Frost
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
More men die of worry than of work, because more men worry than work.
Robert Frost
The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.
Robert Frost
No memory of having starred atones for later disregard, or keeps the end from being hard.
Robert Frost
Unless you are educated in metaphor, you are not safe to be let loose in the world.
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
Something sinister in the tone Told me my secret must be known: Word I was in the house alone Somehow must have gotten abroad, Word I was in my life alone, Word I had no one left but God.
Robert Frost
Than smoke and mist who better could appraise The kindred spirit of an inner haze?
Robert Frost
The people I am most afraid of are those who are the most afraid.
Robert Frost
You know how cunningly mankind is planned: We have one loving and one hating hand. The loving's made to hold each other like, While with the hating other hand we strike.
Robert Frost
I own I never really warmed To the reformer or reformed. And yet conversion has its place Not halfway down the scale of grace.
Robert Frost
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
The sidelong glance is what you depend on.
Robert Frost
Let those possess the land, and only those, Who love it with a love so strong and stupid That they may be abused and taken advantage of And made fun of by business, law, and art.
