Reiterating this, I find myself sharing this in responses often these days, usually to someone talking about politics. In an interview in the 50s Robert Frost was asked, "...what do you think is the most important thing you’ve learned about life?” He answered, “In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on."

Interestingly, other than to confirm its authenticity, as I find necessary there days, I didn't dig deeper into the quote, which I heard watching the movie Queen Bees last weekend (enjoyable, with Ellen Burstyn, James Caan and others well on into life). I did dig deeper just now and here's more that shows how contextually appropriate it is today:

"Quote Investigator: Robert Frost did utter this proverbial wisdom during his eightieth birthday celebration according to journalist and self-help writer Ray Josephs. In September 1954 the Sunday newspaper supplement This Week Magazine published Robert Frost’s Secret by Josephs which included the following exchange. Ellipses were in the original text.

'In all your years and all your travels,' I asked, 'what do you think is the most important thing you’ve learned about life?'

He paused a moment, then with the twinkle sparkling under those brambly eyebrows he replied: 'In three words, I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on. In all the confusions of today, with all our troubles . . . with politicians and people slinging the word fear around, all of us become discouraged . . . tempted to say this is the end, the finish. But life — it goes on. It always has. It always will. Don’t forget that.'"
