Robert Frost Quotes About Children

Quotes about: Children

• God made a beauteous garden With lovely flowers strown, But one straight, narrow pathway That was not overgrown. And to this beauteous garden He brought mankind to live, And said "To you, my children, These lovely flowers I give. Prune ye my vines and fig trees, With care my flowers tend, But keep the pathway open Your home is at the end." God's Garden

• There is no love.
  There's only love of men and women, love
  Of children, love of friends, of men, of God:
  Divine love, human love, parental love,
  Roughly discriminated for the rough.

  Of having children after having had them,
  So there is nothing we can do about it
  But warn the children they perhaps should have none.

  And have our fire and laugh and be afraid.

• Haven't you heard, though,
  About the ships where war has found them out
  At sea, about the towns where war has come
  Through opening clouds at night with droning speed
  Further o'erhead than all but stars and angels
  And children in the ships and in the towns?

• A name with meaning could bring up a child,
  Taking the child out of the parents' hands.
  Better a meaningless name, I should say,
  As leaving more to nature and happy chance.
  Name children some names and see what you do.
