Robert Frost: Quotes
- Change
Most of the change we think we see in life
Is due to truths being in and out of favor. - Choice
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. - Family
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended—and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
- Happiness
Happiness Makes Up in Height for What It Lacks in Length
- Home
Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
They have to take you in. - Justice
A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.
- Liberals and Conservatives
I never dared be radical when young
For fear it would make me conservative when old. - Money
Never ask of money spent
Where the spender thinks it went.
Nobody was ever meant
To remember or invent
What he did with every cent. - Neighbors
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.” - Seasons
The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March. - Solitude and Loneliness
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light. - The World
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice. - Unity
Something there is that doesn't love a wall.
- Writing and Writers
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.
