Robert Frost

(1874–1963) · American Poet

I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
The best things and best people rise out of their separateness; I'm against a homogenized society because I want the cream to rise.
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.
Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I'll forgive Thy great big joke on me.
Modern poets talk against business, poor things, but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market.
In three words I can sum up everything Ive learned about life: it goes on.
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.
I'd just as soon play tennis with the net down.
