Boston, MA…Robert Lee Frost, March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963. Here are some well-known and thought-provoking quotes by the American poet Robert Frost:

“The best way out is always through”

“Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length”

“A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.”

“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”

“Freedom lies in being bold.”

“We love the things we love for what they are.”

“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”

“A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age.”

Note: Some of the most popular posts on ThePineTree.net these last 20 years have been our Bit of Wisdom posts from those in history we might learn from. We try to make these timely by looking into history on who was born on this day that has had a lasting impact.

Since history needs to age just a bit to make sure what remains in our collective memory really has value. We try to pick someone who was born at least 100 years ago.
