More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky It's time to take the window to see Leerie going by For every night at tea-time and before you take your seat, With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Old and young, we are all on our last cruise.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth is the time to go flashing from one end of the world to the other, both in mind and body.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Live life to the fullest.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say give them up, for they may be all you have but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Jekyll had more than a father's interest Hyde had more than a son's indifference.
Robert Louis Stevenson
my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Of what shall we be proud of if we are not proud of our friends?
Robert Louis Stevenson
A knowledge that another has felt as we have felt, and seen things not much otherwise than we have seen them, will continue to the end to be one of life's choicest blessings.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is almost as if the millennium were arrived, when we shall throw our clocks and watches over the housetop, and remember time and seasons no more. Not to keep hours for a lifetime is... to live forever.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Wealth I ask not, hope nor love, Nor a friend to know me All I seek, the heaven above And the road below me.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Under the strain of this continually impending doom and by the sleeplessness to which I now condemned myself, ay, even beyond what I had thought possible to man, I became, in my own person, a creature eaten up and emptied by fever, languidly weak both in body and mind, and solely occupied by one thought: the horror of my other self.
Robert Louis Stevenson
This grove, that was now so peaceful, must then have rung with cries, I thought and even with the thought I could believe I heard it ringing still.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If he be Mr. Hyde he had thought, I shall be Mr. Seek.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Must we to bed indeed? Well then, Let us arise and go like men, And face with an undaunted tread The long black passage up to bed.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Well, well, Henry James is pretty good, though he is of the nineteenth century, and that glaringly.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It takes hard writing to make easy reading.
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
No man is useless while he has a friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I know what happiness is, for I have done good work.
Robert Louis Stevenson
