Chance and Choice: Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken"

Writing a Theme Statement
Which is the best theme statement about the topic
"choice"?
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, as 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,
- "The Road Not Taken,"
Robert Frost
O When you make a choice, you should always
choose what looks best.
O When two choices both look good, you may feel
regret about the choice you did not make.
O It is good to have as many options as possible so
that you can make the best choice.
