It means that the author will be (or is) looking back to a time when they had a choice to make: It was a tough decision, to do what everyone does or to "take the road less travelled." They chose to go a different way and it has made (or will make) all the difference in their life. Robert Frost???

Robert Frost
That by choosing the road NOT chosen by most average/ normal /predictable persons, he will, in his future, have made his life more distinctive, having made a choice that will bring him to a more unique place. His peers would have taken the easy road, but he would take the road that leads him to places/ people/ experiences/ discoveries that will be outside what the common person would see/ think/ do in their lives. And he will have glorious/ unique/ colorful stories to tell of these adventures years later.
If you read the entire poem, you'll see by his description that he is drawn to the less traveled road, and realizes that once he takes that path, he'll never return to take the easy, or well traveled road, because the other will surely affect and colour his entire life.

It is indeed Robert Frost, "The Road Less Traveled By". Without a doubt.
Enjoy!
(Your question starts out "What does the quote" and if you forgot "mean" then a very simple response is:
I'll tell this story for the rest of my life how I lived a life less ordinary by following a path not traveled by most people. I took the path less traveled by and my life is different - maybe even better - because of it.
Very simple, I know.)

I have read, and indeed taught, this poem. Unfortunately, it was in an English text book, so I cannot remember the author. However, I think it is called "The Road Less Travelled" and I think it is a wonderful poem. It sounds like Wordsworth, if that is any help. It is the sort of thing that he would say. But the poem itself may only have been written by someone who was inspired by him. The poem I am thinking of was certainly not written by Wordsworth. But try the AQA GCSE English books that have been produced over the last 10 years. It is in there somewhere.
