More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them, Fair the fall of songs When the singer sings them. Still they are carolled and said - On wings they are carried - After the singer is dead And the maker buried.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.
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

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The friendly cow, all red and white, I love with all my heart She gives me cream with all her might, To eat with apple-tart.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Nobody speaks of a beautifful view for 5 minutes
Robert Louis Stevenson
Ice and iron cannot be welded.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Anyone can carry his burden, however heavy, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I know what happiness is, for I have done good work.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Most of our pocket wisdom is conceived for the use of mediocre people, to discourage them from ambitious attempts, and generally console them in their mediocrity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When Christ came into my life, I came about like a well-handled ship.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It's a pleasant thing to be young, and have ten toes.
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
The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
