Robert Frost

Robert Lee Frost (26 March 1874 – 29 January 1963) was an American poet; winner of four Pulitzer Prizes.


"Half of the world is composed of people who have something to say, but can't, and the other half are those who have nothing to say and keep saying it"

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life — It goes on"

"Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
They have to take you in."

"Everything written is as good as it is dramatic. It need not declare itself in form, but it is drama or nothing."

"A poet never takes notes. You never take notes in a love affair. "

"Her crop was a miscellany
When all was said and done,
A little bit of everything,
A great deal of none."

"I'm not so much
Unlike other folks as your standing there
Apart would make me out. Give me my chance"


"The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work."


"Education is...hanging around until you've caught on. "

"A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday... but never remembers her age."
