More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Live life to the fullest.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Times are changed with him who marries there are no more by-path meadows, where you may innocently linger, but the road lies long and straight and dusty to the grave. Idleness, which is often becoming and even wise in the bachelor, begins to wear a different aspect when you have a wife to support.
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
To forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We must accept life for what it actually is - a challenge to our quality without which we should never know of what stuff we are made, or grow to our full stature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A hanging in a good quarrel is an easy death they say, though I could never hear of any that came back to say so.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Since hate poisons the soul, don't cherish enmities or grudges: avoid people who make you unhappy.
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
The less I understood of this farrago, the less I was in a position to judge of its importance.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It was for one minute that I saw him, but the hair stood upon my head like quills. Sir, if that was my master, why had he a mask upon his face?
Robert Louis Stevenson
Children are certainly too good to be true.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The essence of love is kindness.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Well, well, Henry James is pretty good, though he is of the nineteenth century, and that glaringly.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The seeming significance of nature's appearances, their unchanging strangeness to the senses, and the thrilling response which they awaken in the mind of man . . . If we could only write near enough to the facts, and yet with no pedestrian calm, but ardently, we might transfer the glamour of reality direct upon our pages.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and drink, and man and wife, to me.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If you would grow great and stately, You must try to walk sedately.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To be overwise is to ossify and the scruple-monger ends by standing stockstill.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Give us courage and gaiety and the quient mind . . .
Robert Louis Stevenson
And if a man reads very hard, as the old anecdote reminds us, he will have little time for thought.
Robert Louis Stevenson
