More Inspiring Quotes: Day 1

Even though Saturday was the last day of my quote-a-day project, there's still several more quotes that I didn't post that I love.  So for the next little while I'll do one of those every day, or one every other day, or something like that.  Anyway, here's one.

Inspiring Quotes: Day 25

The Road Not Taken

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled bey,

And that has made all the difference."

-Robert Frost

It's only seven questions, so it won't take long.  Please send this to as many people as you can.  I want to get it out to lots of people (especially teens) ASAP.
Thank you!
