More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
An aspiration is a joy forever, a possession as solid as a landed estate, a fortune which we can never exhaust and which gives us year by year a revenue of pleasurable activity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I believe in an ultimate decency of things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sing a song of seasons something bright in all, flowers in the summer, fires in the fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If a man lives to any considerable age, it can not be denied that he laments his imprudences, but I notice he often laments his youth a deal more bitterly and with a more genuine intonation.
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
In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.
Robert Louis Stevenson
They say cowardice is infectious but then argument is, on the other hand, a great emboldener.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The only noble thing a man can do with money is to build a schooner.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It blows a snowing gale in the winter of the year The boats are on the sea and the crews are on the pier. The needle of the vane, it is veering to and fro, A flash of sun is on the veering of the vane. Autumn leaves and rain, The passion of the gale.
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
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is an idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neighbors good. One person I have to make good: Myself. But my duty to my neighbor is much more nearly expressed by saying that I have to make him happy if I may.
Robert Louis Stevenson
My devil had been long caged, he came out roaring
Robert Louis Stevenson
Being happy enables you to be free from domination by the outside world.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make up your mind to be happy.
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
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
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
It is not enough to be ready to go where duty calls. A man should stand around where he can hear the call!
Robert Louis Stevenson
