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

Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth is wholly experimental.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We look for some reward of our endeavors and are disappointed that not success, not happiness, not even peace of conscience, crowns our ineffectual efforts to do well. Our frailties are invincible, our virtues barren the battle goes sore against us to the going down of the sun.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Some places speak distinctly. Certain dark gardens cry aloud for a murder certain old houses demand to be haunted certain coasts are set apart for shipwreck.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Let first the onion flourish there, Rose among roots, the maiden-fair, Wine-scented and poetic soul Of the capacious salad bowl.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Old and young, we are all on our last cruise.
Robert Louis Stevenson
