Robert Louis Stevenson
Go, little book, and wish to all Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall, A bin of wine, a spice of wit, A house with lawns enclosing it, A living river by the door, A nightingale in the sycamore!
Robert Louis Stevenson
Being happy enables you to be free from domination by the outside world.
Robert Louis Stevenson

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
