Robert Louis Stevenson
For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us.
Robert Louis Stevenson
That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much.
Robert Louis Stevenson
So soon as prudence has begun to grow up in the brain, like a dismal fungus, it finds its first expression in a paralysis of generous acts.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The spirit, Sir, is one of mockery.
Robert Louis Stevenson
