Robert Frost
Image

The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove.
Robert Frost
Image
You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father s. He's more particular. The father is always a Republican towards his son, and his mother's always a Democrat.
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
Courage is of the heart by derivation, And great it is. But fear is of the soul.
Robert Frost
