More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Since hate poisons the soul, don't cherish enmities or grudges: avoid people who make you unhappy.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The child that is not clean and neat, With lots of toys and things to eat, He is a naughty child, I'm sure-- Or else his dear Papa is poor.

The spirit, Sir, is one of mockery.
