More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
In the other gardens And all up the vale, From the autumn bonfies See the smoke trail! Pleasant summer over And all the summer flowers, The red fire blazes, the grey smoke towers. Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all, Flowers in the summer Fires in the fall!
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Robert Louis Stevenson
To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Every man is his own doctor of divinity, in the last resort.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sir, with no intention to take offence, I deny your right to put words into my mouth.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To love playthings well as a child, to lead an adventurous and honorable youth, and to settle when the time arrives, into a green and smiling age, is to be a good artis en life and deserve well of yourself and your neighbor.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson
No human being ever spoke of scenery for above two minutes at a time, which makes me suspect that we hear too much of it in literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In the harsh face of life faith can read a bracing gospel.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I sat in the sun on a bench the animal within me licking the chops of memory the spiritual side a little drowsed, promising subsequent penitence, but not yet moved to begin.
Robert Louis Stevenson
