Description
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.
By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.
I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.
A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.
The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not, as popularly supposed, alcoholism; it's egotism.
Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.
Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.
The artist in me cries out for design.
Hell is a half-filled auditorium." - Robert Frost, 1874-1963
{NOTE: I attended a poetry reading of his in the early 1960's at the University of Minnesota in the mammoth Northrup Auditorium. All the seats were taken. DLG}
