Wine is bottled poetry.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We advance in years somewhat in the manner of an invading army in a barren land the age that we have reached, as the saying goes, we but hold with an outpost, and still keep open communications with the extreme rear and first beginnings of the march.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.

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
It was Silver's voice, and before I had heard a dozen words, I would not have shown myself for all the world. I lay there, trembling and listening, in the extreme of fear and curiostiy, for, in those dozen words, I understood that the lives of all the honest men aboard depended on me alone.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In the other gardens And all up the vale, From the autumn bonfies See the smoke trail! Pleasant summer over And all the summer flowers, The red fire blazes, the grey smoke towers. Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all, Flowers in the summer Fires in the fall!
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
Robert Louis Stevenson
