Robert Louis Stevenson
Truth in spirit, not truth to the letter, is the true veracity.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
If you would grow great and stately, You must try to walk sedately.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Be what you are, and become what you are capable of becoming.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We should strive to go on in fortune and misfortune like a clock during a thunderstorm.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Nobody speaks of a beautifful view for 5 minutes
Robert Louis Stevenson
Everyone who got where he is has had to begin where he was.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Anyone can carry their burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do their work, however hard, for one day.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Death, like a host, comes smiling to the door Smiling, he greets us, on that tranquil shore Where neither piping bird nor peeping dawn Disturbs the eternal sleep, But in the stillness far withdrawn Our dreamless rest for evermore we keep.
Robert Louis Stevenson
