Robert Louis Stevenson
In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be we are.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Extreme busyness is a symptom of deficient vitality, and a faculty for idleness implies a catholic appetite and a strong sense of personal identity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Absences are a good influence in love and keep it bright and delicate.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
