I always entertain great hopes. – Robert Frost
Slave to a springtime passion for the earth.
How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed
On through the watching for that early birth
When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs. – Robert Frost
Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things. – Robert Frost
Modern poets talk against business, poor things, but all of us write for money. Beginners are subjected to trial by market. – Robert Frost
Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own. – Henry Ward Beecher
