Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
The physician...is the flower (such as it is) of our civilization.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Away with funeral music-set The pipe to powerful lips- The cup of life's for him that drinks And not for him that sips.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Some day...after I am dead, you may perhaps come to learn the right and wrong of this. I cannot tell you.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.
Robert Louis Stevenson
