Robert Frost Quotes

Let come what comes, let go what goes. See what remains.

On all the peaks lies peace.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

You are the sky. Everything else - it’s just the weather.

And let its meaning permeate each day. Whatever comes, This too shall pass away.

But if you can plant yourself in stillness long enough, you will, in time, experience the truth that everything (both uncomfortable and lovely) does eventually pass.

Forget the suffering You caused others. Forget the suffering Others caused you. The waters run and run, Springs sparkle and are done, You walk the earth you are forgetting. Sometimes you hear a distant refrain. What does it mean, you ask, who is singing? A childlike sun grows warm. A grandson and a great-grandson are born. You are led by the hand once again. The names of the rivers remain with you. How endless those rivers seem! Your fields lie fallow, The city towers are not as they were. You stand at the threshold mute.

The dream of my life is to lie down by a slow river and stare at the light in the trees - to learn something by being nothing

It is important from time to time to slow down, to go away by yourself, and simply be.

Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.

Peace is when time doesn't matter as it passes by.

Before, for me, peace could have been synonymous with boredom.

You can be still and still moving. Content even in your discontent.

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.

You have to try to take what life throws at you with grace and equanimity.

But I try to steal other moments. Sometimes I get up very early in the morning and enjoy a quiet house and cup of tea before the craziness begins. Other times, I'll take a quick walk on the beach. You can find peace in a few minutes.

I'm at peace.

There's something about the water - that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You're on Earth but not quite.

Take a walk with a turtle. And behold the world in pause.

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.

That time is important. It gives a comforting illusion of permanence not found in running by the mile.

Once you accept, truly accept, that stuff will happen to you and there is nothing you can do about it, stress miraculously leaves your life.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

What some people interpret as brooding melancholy is serenity. I don't feel required to grasp all the time.

Like water, we are truest to our nature in repose.
