More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
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
This profusion of eccentricities, this dream in masonry and living rock is not a drop scene in a theatre, but a city in the world of reality.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be we are.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sit loosely in the saddle.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Little do ye know your own blessedness for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You cannot run away from weakness you must some time fight it out or perish and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
Robert Louis Stevenson
Marriage is a step so grave and decisive that it attracts light-headed, variable men by its very awfulness.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When I say writing, O believe me, it is rewriting that I have chiefly in mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer to forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain common work as it comes certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The less I understood of this farrago, the less I was in a position to judge of its importance.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In anything fit to be called by the name of reading, the process itself should be absorbing and voluptuous we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle habitable place and night after night a man's bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house.
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
Fear is the strong passion it is with fear that you must trifle, if you wish to taste the intensest joys of living.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Since hate poisons the soul, don't cherish enmities or grudges: avoid people who make you unhappy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To make our morality center on forbidden acts is to defile the imagination and to introduce into our judgments of our fellow men a secret element of gusto.
Robert Louis Stevenson
