"Take care to sell your horse before..." - Quote by Robert Frost

“The first thing I do in any town I come to is ask if it has a bookstore.”

“So when at times the mob is swayed To carry praise or blame too far, We may choose something like a star To stay our minds on and be staid.”

“The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.”

“Never mistake motion for progress.”

“Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.”

“The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.”

“The problem in public life is learning to overcome terror; the problem in married life is learning to overcome boredom.”

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”

“Change begets change. Nothing propagates so fast. If a man habituated to a narrow circle of cares and pleasures, out of which he seldom travels, step beyond it, though for never so brief a space, his departure from the monotonous scene on which he has been an actor of importance would seem to be the signal for instant confusion. The mine which Time has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but sand and dust.”
